Introduction

Course overview

Manufacturing and industrial operations depend on specialised equipment, continuous processes, complex supply chains and skilled people. A fire, equipment breakdown, utility failure, cyber attack on control systems or loss of a key supplier can stop production for weeks, with severe consequences for customers, revenue and market share.

This Business Continuity for Manufacturing and Industrial Operations training course applies continuity management principles to the realities of plants, factories and processing facilities. Participants learn how to assess production impacts, protect critical equipment and processes, plan for loss of facilities and utilities, secure industrial control systems, maintain supply to key customers and recover production safely.

The course connects continuity planning with maintenance, safety, quality and supply chain disciplines already present in industrial organisations.
