The master planning team's work is broadly divided into two phases: Phase I deals with
information gathering and analysis. Phase II addresses the synthesis of gathered information
into the development of a master plan.

Steps involved in Phase I

1. A review of the development history of the business;
2. Evaluation in the local and regional context;
3. Planned current and projected conditions;

4. It starts with collecting baseline data on market dynamics, workload trends, current space
allocation, and perceived facility, operational, and technology issues.

Steps involved in Phase II

1. Phase II synthesizes and integrates numerous strands of information gathered into an
organized plan.
2. Orderly approach to master planning and the growth during a specified planning period.
3. The master planners, at this stage, formulate approaches to such 'big picture' issues as
image, identity, character, and visions of the future of the organization within a broader,
societal context.
4. The current market strategies and business plans, potential operations restructuring
initiatives, and planned investments in new equipment, information technology, and
other capital requirements (e.g., infrastructure upgrading) are reviewed.

5. The facility master plan provides a detailed phasing/implementation plan, which also
serves as a 'road map' to guide facility investments over a multi-year period.
6. It identifies immediate, short-term, and long-range "projects" with corresponding capital
requirements and its sequencing. This is compared with current industry practice.
