Since most of companies these days are utilizing the Information system actively, Information System is the most important factor which should be recovered in terms of Business Continuity. However, a lot of enterprises have been outsourcing their Disaster Recovery Center. Therefore, it is highly possible that the information system can not work well and result in the discontinuity of business when any trouble arises because of seperated plan of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. The study draws critical success factors for successful disaster recovery through researches of 42 documents. Then, factors are reviewed through interviews with consultants, experts of Business Continuity Plan and the information system officers of domestic banks. Domestic companies can make use of the study when they develop or renew Disaster Recovery Plan or Information System in terms of Business continuity.

Until now, there were many BCMS case studies in financial sector based on best practices in BCP(Business Continuity Planning). However, the research on the standardized continuity management system framework that practically applicable to the private and public sectors-based national infrastructure and facilities management are relatively scarce. Therefore, in this study, we research to seek the continuity management system framework suitable for the private or public sector-based facility management through the comparison reviews of domestic and international continuity management system frameworks and the reviews of continuity management components considering the characteristic of the private or public sector-based facility management.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of seven sub-components of the business continuity management system(BCM) on disaster management performance and disaster site response. Method: After establishing a hypothesis through prior research and conducting a survey of employees of telecommunication business organizations, a total of 327 pieces of data were gathered and the hypothesis was verified through statistical analysis. Result: First, the leadership, planning, support, operation, and performance evaluation of the business continuity management system were found to have a positive (+) impact on disaster management performance. Second, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement were found to have a positive (+) impact on disaster scene response. Conclusion: The business continuity management system was confirmed to have an overall significant impact on disaster management performance and disaster site response. In order to improve a company's disaster management performance and ability to respond to disaster scenes, it is necessary to establish and operate a business continuity management system.

Purpose: This study intends to check validity of tools for awareness of Business Continuity through measurement and analysis on the sub factors of Business Continuity by employees of railway-related organizations. Method: Based on the preceding study, sub factors of the awareness of Business Continuity are divided into 7 and the total of 29 questions were delivered to employees of railway-related organizations for investigation and analysis through the online survey tool. Result: According to EFA result, the number of factors of awareness of Business Continuity based on the theoretical ground was reduced to 7 and the total coefficient of determination was 82.616%. Checking the questions by factor, all the questions were loaded as intended. Conclusion: Validity of measurement tools of Business Continuity whose sub factors are the Context of Organization, Leadership, Planning, Operation, Support, Performance evaluation, and Improvement for railway organizations were secured through the Exploratory Factor Analysis of this study. As for the further tasks, studies on the structural relationship among internalization of business continuity, organization effectiveness, learning support environment, etc are required.

This paper firstly introduces a classification model for designing the architecture of backup centers in terms of business continuity management. We propose that the replication solution, the level of disaster recovery, and the outsourcing style as three important factors that help explain the architecture of backup centers. We provide the details of each factor of the model and apply them to the real world cases of backup centers in Korea. We conclude that the model is well fitted to many cases of currently available backup centers and can provide backup center architects with a well classified architecture model with specific guidelines.

This paper discusses how to manage supply chain disruption risks from natural disasters or other low-likelihood-high-impact risk drivers. After the catastrophic earthquake in Eastern Japan and the severe flood in Thailand, most companies have been attempting to re-establish the business continuity plan to prevent their supply chain from disruption. However, the challenges for managers and individual risks are often interrelated, and thus, actions that mitigate one risk can end up being no contribution as a whole. In this paper, we describe a framework for assessing how much impact individual mitigation strategies have on the entire supply chain protection against disruption, using network reliability. We propose three categories of risk-mitigation approaches: Stabilization, Absorption, and Duplication. We analyze the situation under which each of these strategies is the best suitable. With a clear understanding of relations between these mitigation strategies and the entire supply chain risks, managers can select effective risk-reduction approaches to their supply chain.
