✔Cite examples of inadequate planning
What is Facility Management?
What is Facilities Planning?
Facilities Planning
• Facilities planning is the development of a forward-thinking strategy
for the management of a single facility or an organization's complete
 portfolio of space that supports operations.
• Facilities planning engages in supervising the planning, programming,
designing, construction approach, operation and maintenance of
facilities to make possible the achievement of the organizational
goals.
• Office building, schools, universities, daycare centers, healthcare
institutions, ministries, airports and universities are familiar examples
of facilities.
Common Characteristics of Facilities in the Supply Chain:
1. Flexibility – This means flexible facilities must be able to handle a diversity of
requirements without distorted.
2. Modularity – Modular facilities are those systems that work together
 efficiently over an extensive sort of operating systems.
3. Upgradability – Upgraded facilities stylishly integrate advances in equipment
systems and technology.
4. Adaptability – Adaptable facilities take into concern the repercussions of
calendars, cycles and peaks in facilities utilization.
5. Selective Operability – This refers to understanding the manner every facility

segment functions and allow as contingency plans to be establish.
Environmental and Energy Friendliness – This engages adopting a whole
building
approach to sustainability in performing the five key areas of human and
environmental health with consist of sustainable site development, saving of
water, efficiency in energy, selection of materials and indoor environmental
quality
Objectives of Facilities Planning
The following are the objectives of facilities planning namely:
✔Improvement of customer satisfaction through being, easy to do
business with, conforming to customer promises and responding to
customer requirements.
✔Increasing return on assets (ROA) with maximizing inventory turns,
reducing obsolete inventory, maximizing employee participation and
maximizing continuous improvement.
✔Maximizing speed for quick customer response.
✔Reducing costs and grow the supply chain profitability
✔Integrating the supply chain by partnerships and
communication .
Objectives of Facilities Planning
✔Supporting the organization’s vision via improved material
handling, material control and good housekeeping
✔Effectively using people, equipment, space and energy.
✔Maximizing return on investment (ROI) on all capital
expenditures ✔Being adaptable and promoting ease of
maintenance.
✔Providing for employee safety, job satisfaction, energy efficiency
and environmental responsibility.
✔Assuring sustainability and resilience.
 Several Issues that have a Strategic Impact
on the Facilities
1. Number, location and sizes of warehouses and/or distribution
centers.
2. Centralized vs. decentralized storage of supplies, raw materials,
work-in-process and finished goods for single and multi
building
sites in addition to single and multisite organizations. 3.
Acquisition of present facilities vs design of modern factories and
distribution centers of the future.
4. Flexibility necessary because of market and technological
uncertainties.
5. Interface between storage and manufacturing.
Several Issues that have a Strategic Impact on
the Facilities (continuation)
6. Level of vertical integration such as subcontract vs. manufacture
decisions.
7. Control systems such as material and equipment control and level
distributed processing.
8. Movement of material between buildings and between sites, both
inbound and outbound.
9. Changes in customers and suppliers’ technology and an
organization’s own manufacturing technology and material
movement, protection, storage and control technology.
