lagringsplan

Lag­ringsplan is a plan for organizing and managing the storage of information, materials, or assets. The term is used in Swedish and Norwegian contexts to describe a structured approach to how items are stored, retained, and retrieved. It covers both digital data and physical goods, as well as archival materials, and aims to clarify responsibilities, timelines, and resources.

In information technology, a lagringsplan describes data storage architecture and lifecycle management. It typically covers data classification, retention periods, and storage tiers (hot, warm, cold), as well as backup, disaster recovery, replication, and security. The plan addresses compliance with data protection laws, governance requirements, and budgeting, with the goal of balancing performance, cost, and risk while defining roles and procedures for data handling.

In logistics and warehousing, a lagringsplan defines facility layout, inventory locations, and stock-keeping units, supporting stock control, order fulfillment, replenishment, and space utilization. It may specify shelving standards, binning rules, FIFO/LIFO considerations, picking routes, and physical security measures to minimize loss and improve efficiency.

In archiving and records management, a lagringsplan focuses on long-term preservation, metadata, format migration, and access policies. It addresses authenticity, integrity, and retrievability of records over time, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and organizational retention schedules.

Development and governance of a lagringsplan typically involve stakeholders from IT, operations, compliance, and records management. The process includes assessing current storage needs, defining retention and access rules, selecting suitable technologies and processes, conducting risk assessments, and establishing monitoring and review procedures to adapt to changing needs.
