A business continuity plan support system for disaster prevention learning

Recently, the natural disaster and the accident have happened frequently in the country and foreign countries. At that time, the constructions business that is stopped is magnified the shattering damage. Hence, formulating the constructions BCP is necessary. In this study, we develop the system which supports the BCP formulating for a construction company.

District Continuity Intensification by Supporting a BCP for Construction Companies: A New Development Model in Japan

When district continuity after large-scale disasters is discussed, it is necessary to consider the business continuity of local organizations such as administrative groups and companies at first. However, only 53.6 % of large companies and 25.3 % of middle-sized companies have their own Business Continuity Plan (BCP). The revival of the local community and economy significantly depends on the early recovery of local infrastructures, such as electricity, gas, roads and railways. Immediately after a disaster occurs, the construction industry, which is familiar with the local conditions, can play a significant and highly expected role. Therefore, it can be said that a BCP for construction companies can contribute to achieving district continuity. This study suggests countermeasures to intensify district continuity acquired through the developing support system to formulate BCP for construction companies.

A proposal of district impact analysis method and application to the action plan for logistics function

In a large scale disaster, regional organizations must strategically cooperate with the others to recover and reconstruction disaster regions. A District Continuity Plan (DCP) and its action plan are required for each organization to facilitate cooperative actions after a disaster. However, to build consensus among DCP developer is difficult because important bases of the organization are different. In order to solve the problems, it is effective a decision support system which enable to present a specific recovery plan for action plan. In this study an attempt is made to propose a District Impact Analysis (DIA) method using a genetic algorithm and a concept of the development action plan based on live design. Several recovery planning of road access and logistics functions are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method. Language: ja
