The military readiness, effectiveness, and responsiveness of the Navy depend on the availability and condition of its assets. The goal of the Shore Facilities Planning Process is to achieve mission readiness.
The Shore Facility Planning Process is a critical part of the Navy's process of maintaining land and shore facilities. It precedes the facility programming, budgeting, funding and implementation phases necessary for prudent management of Navy's facilities. It is a process that analyzes existing facilities and their conditions; the facilities needed to perform assigned mission; existing facilities use; and how to achieve efficient facility utilization, thus minimizing facility footprint. It is a tool used to develop and implement site-specific solution necessary to successfully acquire, maintain, optimally utilize, and dispose of shore assets. It allows planners to locate surplus facilities that may be appropriate to help satisfy other identified facility deficiencies, in order to enhance efficient utilization of existing assets and to improve mission capability.
The first slide shows how the Shore Facility Planning System fits into the Navy's broader planning and asset management efforts. The SFPS process consists of five principal steps or phases:
1. Facilities requirements (BFR)
2. Asset evaluation
3. Analysis, Concepts and Proposal
4. Implementation (INFADS)
S. Facility Planning Documents
BFRs is the first step of the planning process and its intent is to provide the optimal footprint for a command to perform its mission. BFRs cover entire functional categories of use such as administrative offices, general warehouse and public works shops etc. Each BFR Iists an Activity Name, the
