The Industrial Resilience Audit identifies:

• Problems or disruptions that cause processes to underperform.
• How frequently processes suffer from the identified disruptions.
• The effect or impact of the disruptions on process performance.
• The resilience capabilities that processes have for handling the disruptions.

The output of the Industrial Resilience Audit can help:

Short-term internal activities

• Prioritise improvements to current processes (process capabilities, operational adherence & stability, material specifications.)
• Identify the requirement for new process capabilities to better cater for disruptions.

Long-term internal/external activities

• Focus the development of next generation processes.
• Providing flexible production capabilities, for new products, using new technologies, with changing business demands.
