Nancy - Well, I also agree with the three Steve's and a Bradley. A Site is for data separation and an organization is for data sharing. Look at the main objects which are set at the Site level which you can do in Database Configuration and ask yourself the question does it make sense for this data to be separated, one facility from another. If the answer is generally yes, then each facility should be in its own site.
Making the decision about Org and Site structures can be easy and sometimes very difficult. It can require a lot of background knowledge of the business and a bit of forward thinking. The terms you used "security groups, warehouse, work orders, etc" point strongly to one facility = one site, but you used the term etc, which just might point in another direction, but my guess is it will not.
Remember a user has one Default Insert Site (in their profile). They would not thank you if data were being entered centrally and retrospectively and they need to keep on changing their profile.

Subject: One Site with Multiple Facilities
Hello everyone,
I have a situation where 2 sites were setup when we went live with Maximo. We now have the request to merge the 2 sites into one which we can do. However there were 6 facilities rolled up into those 2 sites. Now I need a way to have one site with 6 'subsites'. Each of the 6 would have their own security groups, warehouse, work orders, etc. Is there a way to do this?
Our current setup What I would like to setup
Thank You,
Nancy Wood, Maximo IT Mgr
