Isn’t it an interesting case for business continuity studies?
I was reading about the strike of the federal custom auditors here in Brazil. They are not inspecting cargo coming through the ports, so the containers arriving can’t be unloaded. Ok, it shouldn’t be a problem for exporting goods, as the problem is with imported goods, right?
Not necessarily. The strike is causing problems to exportations, as not only the storage areas at the ports are full but now there is also a problem of lack of empty containers! Isn’t it a interesting case for business continuity studies?
I totally agree. The difficulty in putting continuity programs in place beyond the traditional type is the inability to accurately forecast ancilary impacts and unitended consequences of certain strategies.
