Planning Defined Planning the process of developing a method or an arrangement of parts intended to facilitate the achievement of a defined objective. B. The Value of Plans 1. It implements policies and clarifies it by defining more precisely an immediate objective or purpose and outlining what is to be done to achieve it 2. It serves as guide or reference in both training and performance. It simplifies the direction of the members of the group, facilities the coordination of their efforts and places of responsibility 3. The planning process gives continued attention for the improvement of the practices and procedure 4. It enables a check on accomplishment. Control is thereby affected. 5. Wise planning assumes the most effective and economical use of resources in the accomplishment of the purpose of the organization C. Steps in Planning 1. Identification of the problem Determination whether the problem exist and that there is a need to do something about it. 2. Frame of Reference A careful review of literature relating to situation for which plans are being developed, and opinions or ideas of persons who may speak with authority in the subject concern. 3. Clarifying the Problem Understanding of the problem and requiring a clear identification of both its record and its possible solution. A situation must exist for which something must and can be done. 4. Collecting All Pertinent Facts no attempt should be made to develop a plan until all facts relating to it have been gathered. 5. Analyzing the Facts after all data has been gathered. A careful analysis and evaluation must be made. This provides the basis from which a plan or plans evolved. Only such facts as may have relevance should be considered. 6. Developing Alternative Plans in the initial phase of plan development, several alternative measures will appear to be logically comparable to the needs of the situation. Person responsible for plan development may overlook or fail to consider important factors. As the alternative solutions are evaluated, one of the proposed plans will usually prove more logical than others. 7. Selecting the Most Appropriate Alternative a careful consideration of all facts usually leads to the selection of the best plan. 8. Selling the Plan a plan to be effectively carried out, must be accepted by all personnel concerned, at the appropriate level of the plans development. 9. Arranging for Execution of the Plan the execution of the plan requires the issuance of orders and directives to the involved units and personnel, the establishment of schedule, and the provision of manpower and equipment for carrying out the plan, briefings must be held and assurance must be received that all involved personnel understood when, how, and what is to be done.  10. Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Plan The result of the plan should be determined. This is necessary to know whether a correct alternative was chosen whether the plan was correct, which phase poorly implemented and whether additional planning may be necessary.
