Learning from Disaster:The First Step Toward a World-Class Soma Works

摘要

The Soma Works recovered from the Tohoku Earthquake and tsunami and resumed production with extraordinary speed. Now, the facility is transitioning from a disaster recovery phase to an expansion phase, and a variety of lessons learned from the disaster are being implemented. The first major actions are Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and the photovoltaic (PV) solar power generation system introduced as a power-saving measure. This involves a new model of renewable energy utilization.
