5 . Business continuity & security
Global supply chains trust us with their most sensitive intellectual property and critical production volumes. We simply cannot afford single points of failure in our physical security or our operational continuity.
This chapter outlines the essential protocols for facility access control, intellectual property protection, and robust disaster recovery. By proactively planning for significant events—from unexpected grid failures to natural disasters—we ensure the factory can reliably recover and resume production with minimal disruption to our customers.
- 5.1 Physical security & access control
Physical security in a high-tech manufacturing environment is not simply about straightforward theft prevention; it is fundamentally about preserving the "Chain of Custody" for our clients' invaluable Intellectual Property. A breach here compromises...
- 5.2 Backup power & UPS systems
Grid stability is a variable, not a constant guarantee. In precision electronics manufacturing, a brief 50ms power sag does more than reset a wall clock; it can scrap wafers in process in a furnace, jam SMT pick-and-place heads mid-cycle, and irrecov...
- 5.3 Outage / disaster recovery playbooks & test schedule
Effective disaster recovery is not about vague hope or creating complex, theoretical binders that gather dust; it is a practical discipline focused on minimizing the Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR). In a sudden crisis, human adrenaline spikes and cognit...
