Chapter 9: Time and space frameworks for planning
9.3. Overall scheduling of plans
In a planned economy, the key to sound economic management is to set a schedule and steadily implement it. In this regard, the time frame for scheduling such plans is the planning cycle period. In a sustainable planned economy, it is three years.
Starting with the original first three-year economic plan, each cycle of subsequent three-year plans is built up every three years, and these cycles are accumulated in ordinal numbers, starting with the first economic plan, followed by the second, third, etc.
Each three-year period is divided into the first planning year, second planning year, and third planning year, but this is merely a formal division, and the implementation content of the plan does not differ for each planning year, but the plan is simply organized into a three-year cycle as a whole.
Since this three-year cycle is the implementation period of each plan, naturally the formulation of each subsequent plan must begin before the start of the first month of the first year of the plan, which is the starting point of the three years. In that respect, a sustainable economic plan that spans three spatial layers - the World Commonwealth, the Zone, and the greater local area - will not function unless the scheduling of each of these three layers is organically linked together.
Considering the burden of the wide-ranging metrological work, the formulation of the three-year world economic plan, which is the starting point for all plans, needs to begin one year before the current plan ends (or one year before the start of the first three-year plan, for which there is no previous plan).
Furthermore, this process needs to be completed no later than six months by a resolution of the World Commonwealth General Assembly, taking into account the schedule leeway for the formulation of the Zonal economic plans that are based on that.
If we set the start month of the three-year world economic plan to January for easy understanding, then formulation of the next plan will begin in January, when the third planning year of the current plan begins, and the next three-year world economic plan will be completed by July of the same year.
Using the completed world economic plan as a base, the process of formulating economic plans in each Zone will begin. This process consists of two layers, the Zonal economic plan (core production plan) and the greater local economic plan (consumption plan) within the Zone, and it will be completed in the last six months of the third planning year of the current plan.
