Learning From the Post Earthquake Resiliency of Japanese Companies

Some of the larger businesses that were impacted by the recent Japanese earthquake were able to overcome the disaster and recover remarkably quickly.

How did some companies recover so fast? By being both prepared and working with resources outside of their companies, such as vendors and building the redundancy into the manufacturing and supply chain processes.

In a recent article written by Michael Koploy titled The Post-Tsunami Supply Chain All-Stars | Who Recovered the Fastest and How? he details how some of these companies overcame the worst earthquake in Japanese history.

Check out his article to glean more insight in what these companies did differently and learn what you should be doing at your business.

Congratulations to Fujitsu for being prepared for disaster! They are apparently back up and running at near full capacity in three months when the average is expected to be 9-12 months. And they were near the quake epicenter!

Can anyone provide details about how Apple has created such a successful supply chain system? The article alludes to it, but doesn't provide specifics.

I enjoyed reading the article especially the information, that was presented from another angle adding too much to the topic.

Great post. I have a small business and someone said I should look into business continuity planning for emergencies. I do not want to be one of those businesses that was not prepared for a disaster.
