Minimize business interruption effects by having a complete plan for recovery.
Business interruption insurance only goes so far and will not restore a lost customer or supplier base. Use SMX to help plan and prepare all the resources you will need to get back up and running fast.
- Develop a comprehensive business interruption / disaster contingency plan. Keep customers, suppliers, employees in the loop.
- Maintain up-to-date information and images on assets - equipment, appliances, materials, supplies, inventory, where to find, who can fix or replace, what can substitute.
- Maintain contact information on key people, organizations and their role with respect to your business and employees. Include contact information for neighboring businesses and property managers.
- Maintain information on alternate supply resources for situations where either you OR your supplier is the victim of an interruption.
- Store temporary stockpiles, backup equipment and supplies remotely. Use SMX to plan remote storage, interim facility and work-flow organization, allowing available staff to find anything fast.
- Use SMX to plan alternate layouts of and re-purposed work and office facilities. SMX can be easily read and understood by available staff on hand helping mitigate problems when you cannot be there in person.
- Plan and show building evacuation paths and remote gathering sites. Use SMX to make and distribute information for a comprehensive emergency information packet for employees and visitors.
- Use SMX to plan how to accommodate an operational "bulge" to reconfigure workspace when you must support or assist other divisions effected by an interruption. Exchange and share the SMX model with managers at remote sites so critical information can be assessed and assimilated in time.
- Use SMX to create multiple strategies based on most likely scenarios. When needed the appropriate plan can be implemented by those available to do so.
- Show where emergency supplies are located. Find anything in your plan and the location information of anything you have provided or may need.
- Document information that is programmed into your phones and that you may not remember easily such as how to get into your voicemail from another phone. Find the person by role, name, company or organization.
- SMX offers a breakthrough way to deal with on-site issues and eliminate potentially expensive job interruptions.
- Include images of people and identifying descriptive information in SMX database ready to be accessed by authorities in an already electronic, easily distributed, form.
- SMX uniquely allows you quickly associate critical and time-saving information with the physical spaces and locations where your business did and will operate along with necessary Points-of-Contact.
