The Move Plan
An Office and Industrial (O & I) move represents the last step of a long
process that began with the decision to improve your business. This process allows
companies to evaluate many of the ways they do business. It also represents a
challenge; one that brings great opportunities for success, and plenty of anxiety.
A successful move does not occur by chance. It is the result of thorough planning
and attention to all your requirements. Proper execution requires a concise plan,
clearly defined goals and assignments of responsibility. The success of the move
is directly related to the quality of the planning that preceded it
Relocation Goals
- Your customer experiences no interruption to your product or service.
- Disruption
to your business before and after the move is kept to a minimum.
- Computers, furniture
and equipment are moved safely.
- Move is completed "on time and within budget."
The purpose of the "move plan" is
to keep your business focused in anticipation of a major distraction. This is
done by involving your staff
in key planning and scheduling decisions, identifying strategies to reduce downtime
and educating people about proper move procedures.
