BCP(Business Continuity Plan)
NTT LOGISICO has developed various business continuity plans (BCP) as a member of a communication infrastructure provider, the NTT Group.
NTT LOGISCO is equipped with a logistics center that exceeds quake resistance standards, a private power generation facility and fuel stockpile and also provides communication infrastructures including the backing up of logistics information systems.
We take a wide range of business continuity measures as a member of the NTT Group.
We would like to further enhance disaster prevention measures, leveraging lessons learned from what happened in the Great East Japan Earthquake and past disasters, and improve our response capability to ensure business continuity as a logistic company resilient to disasters.

Securing of power source using private power generation facility
Logistics centers have a power source securing measures for emergency situations such as solar power generation and private power generation systems
System data backup
Each logistics center has installed a UPS (uninterruptible power-supply system) to prevent logistic services from being interrupted even during power outages
Cloud logistics information system run by a robust datacenter is effective in ensuring data security from a disaster prevention perspective.
Quake resistance measures for storage equipments
In order to protect the goods of shippers, the floor of storage shelves is fixed by anchor bolts and shelves are connected to each other. In addition, NTT LOGISCO has developed rack unit connection fittings for the purpose of improving the stability of multi-stage Nestenor as part of anti-earthquake measures in warehouses, which are used by some customers for logistics.
