While

technically plans are operational plans & rely on inventory all work

Tactical plans are to mitigate problems and strategy are to prevent and generate business. One is short term and other is long term. In planning process, working for the operations to be streamlined is strategy and preventing operations during processing is tactical.

I like all the answers here, I'd say that strategic plans define long term goals and approaches, while tactical plans are for immediate objectives.
