How does the IATF standard expect you to continue production when a disaster such as a cat 5 hurricane decides to tear through your area of production?
Not only could your plant be damaged beyond repair, but there are going to be utility, infrastructural, human and supply disruptions...good luck with producing parts under those circumstances. In this situations, small businesses would be shut down for good.
Not every business has a remote production facility.
Luckily where I live its unlikely that we will ever get a major disaster, but this requirement still does not make sense to me.
