Business Continuity

The NEC Group resumed maintenance operations in some areas on the day of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and restored production and shipping at 6 production plants in affected areas in just 11 days.
This fact proves that our disaster prevention measures were effective and we could share information on damage, IT restoration, distribution and procurement with people concerned.

Policy

NEC provides a lot of highly reliable systems for utilities companies and telecommunications carriers. Therefore, it is our responsibilities to quickly recover and continue their systems and operations.

To promote business continuity, we;

  1. Assume threats and infrastructural damage scenarios
  2. Develop company-wide policies
  3. Organize BCP teams and clarified their roles
  4. Take measures to reduce potential damage based on damage assumptions of each workplace
  5. Review emergency operational plans
  6. Draw up guidelines for employees and BCP teams, considering the above
  7. Make the guidelines well known to each employee by conducting exercises and e-learning
  8. Develop business continuity plans based on the above considerations

Framework

NEC maintains proactive and flexible business continuity through the following three organizations.

The Headquarters for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Administers the BCP for management function to maintain top management decision-making and restore operations.

Business Unit BCP team

Administer the BCP for each business to recover specific businesses such as collecting information on damage to customers and operations, securing the personnel needed, and securing materials supply and distribution routes.

In the Business Unit BCP team, there are the BCP Promoters and the BCP Developing Members who promote Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS) under the BCDR managers.

Developing BCPs and International Certification

NEC has been developing BCPs for all NEC Group consolidated subsidiaries in Japan since FY2007. We developed 412 BCPs in FY2008.

We obtained third-party certification in February 2009.
