Industrial and Manufacturing

At Q3, we appreciate that looking after a factory, manufacturing operation or industrial site requires a particular approach to FM that extends beyond simply looking after people and spaces. There will also be many physical assets, including machinery, production lines, and infrastructure. Manufacturing Facility Management necessitates a deep understanding of these production processes, specific technical expertise, compliance knowledge, and a proactive approach to maintenance and asset management.

Q3 promises that as your industrial Facilities Management partner, we will play a key role in supporting production activities, minimising manufacturing delays or disruption, and delivering operational efficiency.

Each manufacturing site is unique, so we will always endeavour to understand the unique operational, regulatory, and efficiency challenges facing your plant and the appropriate resources we need to deploy to satisfy them.

 

Our Manufacturing Facility Management Solutions

Q3 offers a range of both hard and soft facilities management services to industrial and manufacturing sites, including cleaning, (routine and deep cleans), landscaping and grounds maintenance, security, waste management and recycling, engineering and maintenance, and energy management. Typically, these services will be bundled together within an integrated FM contract to maximise the leverage we have from operating a permanent, multi-skilled, on-site team.

Being proactive is key, but in manufacturing facilities, we will make sure we’re always in a state of readiness to help manage any type of emergencies, such as equipment failures, power outages, fires, or accidents. Q3 will have robust emergency preparedness plans in place, including contingency plans, evacuation procedures, and coordination channels with external emergency services.

 

Improve productivity minimising disruption

Facilities Management across the industry and manufacturing sector presents some of the biggest challenges in relation to the management of risk, plus enforcing Health and Safety regulations and standards to ensure both people and premises are safeguarded. You have our word that these will be our priorities.

If we do our job correctly, and we will, it means that your team on the factory floor can too, helping achieve operational efficiency, adherence to best practice, a strong workplace culture and enhanced productivity.

Working towards a zero-waste environment

More than most, the manufacturing sector faces the longest, toughest journey to reach Net Zero, particularly where processes require heat or large amounts of water and electricity. As sustainability becomes an increasingly important KPI, our approach to green manufacturing facility management can help you embed an environmentally aligned approach to operations across the site.

Q3 can show the way, implementing energy-efficient practices, waste management strategies, and adopting green technologies to help you meet your ESG objectives.
