Strategic facility planning (SFP) follows a structured approach that aligns with corporate objectives and ensures optimal resource allocation. The correct order for strategic facility planning, as per IFMA standards, is:
* Strategic Purpose - Establishes the long-term vision and core objectives of the organization.
* Strategic Planning - Defines how facility management aligns with organizational strategy, including budget allocation, infrastructure requirements, and operational goals.
* Business Unit Planning - Breaks down strategic plans into specific departmental needs and objectives.
* Tactical Planning - Converts business unit strategies into actionable facility management tasks, such as space allocation, maintenance scheduling, and technology integration.
* Execution - Implements the tactical plan by deploying resources and managing operations.
* Measurement - Evaluates facility performance using key performance indicators (KPIs), including cost-efficiency, space utilization, and employee productivity.
* Feedback - Uses performance data to refine the strategy and ensure continuous improvement.
This structured process ensures that facilities contribute effectively to business goals while optimizing costs and resources.
