Case study on implementing NFPA 1600: Goodyear Global Business Continuity Program

摘要

A FEW YEARS AGO, if this statement was made by the media, or Goodyear associates, it would raise concerns for our fellow associates, customers, suppliers, and operations. The concern would have been valid due to our lack of knowledge regarding the overall preparedness efforts in place, response and recovery experience, and defined responsibilities for a specific incident. Goodyear's preparedness efforts must address a global presence including more than 60 manufacturing plants in 26 countries, numerous logistics centers, more than 1,000 retail stores, approximately 70,000 associates and annual sales of USD20.3 billion. Its strategic business units include North American Tires, European Union Tire, Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa Tire, Latin America Tire and Asia Pacific Tire.
