Definition Contingency Plan - What is the meaning under ISO/TS requirements

#11
Has anybody ever seen Cont.Plan that contains actions in case of:
- car excident when goods are damaged
- pirate attack - when goods are transported by sea
- earthquake
- strikes of duty service,
Damaged and lost goods are covered by transportation insurance and good contract review of the point of transfer of ownership. You just make replacement parts. This is not the context of a contingency plan as defined. For the other two, see below.
Also for consideration, does the business have adequate insurance to cover all perceived incidents?
What are approximate lead times to replace large capital equipment?
Could work be subcontracted to ensure customer supply of product in the event of a prolonged issue?
If work can be transferred to other production lines/equipment, is there capacity?
Our contingency plan assumes that the building, contents and a vast majority of the team are destroyed (if the whole team is destroyed I am pretty sure that we don't care if you get your parts anymore:notme:). The incident is irrelevant (I don't understand the finding above). What is important is how and how soon will you replace what is lost. Make a 6M fishbone and start listing:
1. Man (People, expertise)
2. Machines (Office, production equipment)
3. Material (Utilities, office and production supplies, raw materials, components)
4. Methods (Information Technology* backup, expertise, training, procedures)
5. Measurements (Information Technology*, equipment, expertise, specifications)
6. Mother Nature (Building, climate control, location)

*In the computer age, many of your methods and measurements are on a computer somewhere.

Contigency is an alternative for quick come over. TS 16949 recommends to have contigency for all the 4 system elements (Man , Machine , Material & Method). For example if a planned machine fails then what will we do ? that to be prescribed and ensured the way of execution.

Hope you can understand..

Hi There we won't use the term Control plan , but Emergency preparedness and response plan. Nature calamities and other disasters are covered under this.

I understand it...
imagine situation: we have a mould at workshop and it is transported to final destination => factory.
But during transportation it is damaged due to car excident.
Timing for new mold is 20 weeks.
But it makes a delay for final customer. So we cannot wait.
and we cannot make "backup" because cost of mould is e.g. 30k Eur

Contingency plans are based on a risk analysis. Hoe likely is it that the mold will be damaged during transport? However, how likely is it that the mold and its components will be damaged during actual use? If the mold has components that could be damaged during use, you are expected to have spare parts available at your plant or quickly accessible at the mold manufacturer. You can not plan for every imaginable disaster; that's why a risk analysis (based on lessons learned) and sound judgement will help.

The contingency plan would be whatever it takes to keep the customer up and running should you actually destroy the mould on the way from the workshop to the factory. Often, as with many things in the Quality Assurance realm, you may find that the costs of a contingency plan are in excess of the risks or potential risks. At that point, you must fall back on removing as much of the potential need for a contingency plan as is economically possible. In this case, providing as much protection as possible for the mould against the most likely sources of damage.

As always, the precious few must be separated from the trivial many. Any business that spends the money to be ready for any possible calamity will soon be out of business.

This is very helpful.
I am revisiting our procedures and we don't have this written document for 4Ms, except for emergency preparedness for fire or calamities.
