Strategic Facility Planning: A White Paper from IFMA
This white paper outlines the key principles of strategic facility planning (SFP) and details the key stages of the entire SFP process, which consists of understanding, analyzing, planning and acting. Facilities are the critical components of an organization’s SFP since they are the outcome of business decision-making processes and have a long-term impact on the support for achievement of the organization’s mission and vision. Linking facilities to core business strategies is one of the imperatives of refined facility management now and in the future. Even greater importance will be given to SFP in coming years as budgets continue to be squeezed and worker performance and productivity are key factors in the knowledge age. SFP facilitates the organization’s strategy by optimizing facilities to satisfy the strategic relationships between the organization, products/services and facilities.
