Trying to plan for the future of space needs can be extremely challenging when you don’t have the data you need to bring together employees, job requisitions, and space along with your floors. Whether it’s bringing personnel out of a leased facility (or working from home) to the office or restacking due to department realignment, you need the data and tools to gain visibility into all of your options.
The Strategic Planning Module of FMS:Workplace allows you to create a project plan, then develop multiple scenarios for that plan without affecting your current space, department, or personnel allocations. You can perform forecasting for department hierarchy levels, create phases for the plan, and move personnel around in a blocking and stacking visual environment. When ready, you can then promote the chosen scenario and even click to convert it into a move project with all the affected personnel if applicable!
Learn how you can leverage scenario planning to understand the different components, best and worse case scenarios, phasing and predictable outcomes.
AMS can help you integrate the Strategic Planning Module so you can get the most out of your facilities space and adapt to anything that comes down the line. The module works together with your departmental allocations of space and your employee data to visualize floors at the stacking level as well as in detail on the floor plan at the blocking level. It can interact with each of these datasets so you can move department headcount around and drag and drop existing personnel (or projected unnamed new hires) between locations on a floor plan.
With this level of detail in an interactive tool, you’ll be able to better collocate personnel and adjust departments to optimize space use in your facility.
The tool comes with the ability to forecast departmental changes either by specific headcount over different plan dates or by percentages. New personnel that may be associated with job requisitions are given temporary IDs/Names so you can not only split forecasted departmental growth at the numbers level, but even place these unnamed personnel in individual seats at different phases of a scenario.
The module is a helpful tool that brings together all the pieces you need to perform strategic planning with different scenarios. Gone are the days when you needed to pair multiple large floor plan prints together with static, ever-changing Excel spreadsheets. This integrated module leverages your investment in Space Management and delivers the data and visuals you need to plan for the future needs of the facility.
