TAPA APAC and SIMM join forces to offer first Business Continuity & Recovery Plan webinar in Mandarin
TAPA APAC and the Singapore Institute of Material Management (SIMM) have conducted the first certified Business Continuity and Recovery Plan (BCRP) webinar training in Mandarin to address the BCRP gap revealed in the region’s Coronavirus Survey earlier this year.
The webinar training was conducted online to facilitate companies’ work-from-home, social distancing and self-isolation policies to help reduce the spread of the virus.
It was based on the findings of the study carried out by International Crisis Room 360 (ICR360) in January, in which 80% of respondents stated they had no BCRP plans for their China operations. Recognizing this significant gap in the ability of supply chains to recover from the Covid-19 disruption, TAPA & SIMM got together to
produce the webinar course to support the requirements of the Association’s members in China, and the industry as a whole. The Mandarin course has proven so popular that additional courses in English have also been arranged for TAPA members and their suppliers across the region.
Members found the course to be practical and useful for the implementation of business continuity tasks in their respective companies. Cheng Liang, a Manager from Sompo Insurance China, commented: “The training has provided great insights and detailed steps to implement BCRP using the 6R model. This will greatly increase service reliability for our clients amidst these uncertain times.”
Ms Li Ping, responsible for Quality Assurance at JD-Link, added: “The webinar was very practical and will help my company step up and recover from the impact of the coronavirus. I have learned about the difference between BCRP and BCM (Business Continuity
Management), and how both concepts interlink and affect
different departments across the firm. I was also able to utilise the PDCA planning tool during the course.”
“It is an important milestone for TAPA to engage our members in China and to offer this Chinese version of the Certificate in BCRP course, which is especially timely given the present supply chain turbulence. We all need to be vigilant and agile in this Covid-19 period and be prepared to ensure business continuity,” said Tony Lugg, Chairman of TAPA Asia Pacific.
He added: “TAPA wishes to thank the Singapore Institute of Material Management (SIMM) for producing the webinar course in conjunction with the Association as part of our corporate social responsibility response to the COVID-19 outbreak. We will continue to develop new courses to engage our members and to help attract new memberships.”
