Riordan Continuity Project Plan
Introduction
The Business Continuity plan will help prepare Riordan Manufacturing to continue business operations in the event of extended service outages that may affect all aspects of the business. These factors may be caused by event beyond Riordan’s control (i.e. natural or man-made disasters). This plan will outline necessary steps to restore business operations to the broadest extent possible and in a minimum time frame. All Riordan locations are expected to implement preventative measures where possible to mitigate operational disruptions and to respond and recover as quickly as possible in the event of a disaster.
Scope

Should Riordan experience a disruptive catastrophe which may be defined as acts of terror, fires, floods, earthquakes, the procedures defined within this BCP will mitigate total loss of business.
Justification
With budgets already tight, any interruption to the revenue process is detrimental. This is why the BCP is needed. The following are critical in supporting business processes.
Critical needs to management:
1. Inventory system: tracks the type of raw materials, the vendor, and the quantity.
a. Georgia Plant materials: See Appendix …show more content…
(b) Procedures and requirements on alternate worksites
Co-location contact individuals should be contacted and coordination to assess site should begin
Warm site systems have already been periodically tested. Servers should be brought online with necessary configuration changes.
Pertinent data should be moved to existing hardware or activated in cloud services and made available for access.
Physical access will be determined based on assessments and if necessary for business continuance.
(c) Procedures and requirements for IT recovery (network, server, desktops, wireless devices). IT procedures will be determined by type of disaster
Natural disaster steps. See Appendix ‘5’
Fire disaster. See Appendix ‘6’. Severely should be determined and 911 contacted as needed. Actions for IT staff are outlined in Appendix ‘6’ document.
Network Outage. See Appendix ‘7’ for steps to repair systems and bring servers back on line
Water damage. See Appendix ‘8’ for guidelines to recovery.
