The White Paper on Manufacturing, which the government decided on the 28th, focuses on dealing with risks in the Japanese manufacturing industry.
According to this, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, corporate preparation was centered on how to aim for business continuity in the event of damage to production bases or logistics facilities in a specific area in anticipation of a natural disaster.
However, he said that the new coronavirus has highlighted that it can cause simultaneous damage and impact at any point in the supply chain.
For this reason, in the future, it will be necessary to take multifaceted risk measures in consideration of the entire global supply chain in which the company is involved.
On top of that, we recommend that you make a business continuity plan according to the status of management resources that can be utilized even if the number of personnel decreases or equipment malfunctions.
