The planning process in any enterprise is carried out step by step. Do not try to cover everything at once. It is important to pay attention to every aspect that is necessary. In order to make it easier and more understandable for you to organize and achieve a qualitative result, it was decided to draw up an action plan. In accordance with this, general types and forms of planning have been adopted and conditioned. Such as: strategic, tactical and operational. There is still such an additional kind of planning, as calendar. It can be used in different industries, it is excellent, as for the types of planning in school, and for business planning types.
Goals, types and methods of planning
Types of strategic planning is a perspective, the planning of which indicates the direction of action for the implementation and achievement of the objectives of the enterprise itself. Strategic planning differs significantly from other methods, namely:
- the work carried out according to the plan is aimed at the future, without describing the current progressiveness of the current situation and the work of the enterprise;
- The strategic plan is not based on the specification of terms or resources spent. It represents the general perspectives and directions of the firm's activities for its development as a whole;
- unlike other planning methods, the strategic planning system denies such a condition that the future is provided only by reports from the past.
Tactical planning is a so-called kind of "business" planning, which comes into effect now. For example, significant actions, concretization. At the moment, a decision has been made to sell and release products to the market, indicating the resources required for this. The work is calculated, approximately, for 1-2-3 years.
Types of operational planning is the planning of work aimed at a short time (within one year, divided into months and quarters). As part of the implementation of this plan, attention is paid to details, correction and changes are taking place on current results and issues. Everything that was not envisaged and decided earlier is currently being considered in a scrupulous way.
All the existing three types of financial planning, like any other, should be linked and developed for a common, shared purpose. They must constitute a single, integral system of a set of plans. They will not act individually. To carry out the mission of the enterprise, you can take into account all aspects of the planning stages and types of planning.
Types of scheduling
There are two types of scheduling - standard and simplified (short-term). In the standard it is concluded:
In the case of short-term planning, a list of actions and deadlines for the performance of work is compiled. This form does not carry an additional function, such as - optimization, but it is convenient and simple. It is distinguished by its visibility and is compiled for the performance of work in the near future. If you have a goal, and you know how to achieve it - take advantage of simplified planning and do not lose a lot of time on unnecessary compilation of other plans! It is much more productive to act than just plan! But it is worth remembering that wise, proper planning is the key to success and half the job!
