大地震被災時のBCP（事業継続計画）の現状と課題

摘要

As part of risk management, more companies have developed Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in the last several years. With the development of BCP, companies can be sure to carry out their responsibility of supplying consumers with products and services. Those companies who don't have BCP would be unable to provide products and services quick enough to help recovery from crisis mode such as a major earthquake. Therefore, we need to develop BCP in preparation for a major earthquake. When developing BCP, significant activities as well as social responsibility should be defined. These works should be done not by one company but by companies in the whole supply chain.%ここ数年，リスクマネジメントの一環とし て，BCP（Business Continuity Plan＝事業継続計 画）の整備に取り組む企業が急増している。企 業はBCPを整備することによって，顧客への 製品・サービスの供給責任を確実に果たすこ とができる。BCPが整備されていない企業 は，大地震時などの危機が発生した際の準備 が不充分であり，迅速な製品・サービスの復 旧がおぼつかない。
