Description

The present invention relates to a business continuity planning (BCP) support system, and in particular to a business continuity planning support system that provides an automated support system that enables business continuity even if the supply of lifelines is cut off during a disaster.

A business continuity plan (BCP) is a plan that "prepares the necessary resources and determines response policies and measures in advance in order to continue important operations that should be prioritized in the event of a disaster and restore business operations as quickly as possible." Here, "disasters" include natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, floods, droughts, and tornadoes, as well as man-made disasters such as traffic accidents and urban disasters, and special disasters such as radiation accidents, diffuse contamination by toxic substances, and war. Infection due to the new coronavirus is included in the category of special disasters.

This type of business continuity plan is particularly problematic in the event of a disaster, especially for facilities that are concerned with human lives and require ensuring the safety of the local area. Therefore, in this invention, as one embodiment of a business continuity plan support system, we consider business continuity plans for facilities during disasters.

Patent Document 1 discloses a disaster prevention and business continuity system that can realize a disaster prevention plan that protects employees and enables business continuity, even in the event of an emergency such as a disaster, while taking into consideration the subsequent evacuation life. The disaster prevention and business continuity system is described as having a central server that can be accessed via the Internet from mobile information terminals owned by employees and information terminal devices at the business where the employees work, and that has eight functions: a disaster prevention consultation function, a business continuity plan creation function, a safety confirmation evacuation guidance function, an evacuation drill alarm function, a bulletin board function for matching support recipients and support business, an automatic stockpile search function, an employee problem resolution bulletin board function, and a business continuity plan viewing function, and provides various disaster prevention related information to employees and business establishments.

Patent Document 2 discloses a decision-making support device, a decision-making support method, and a decision-making support program that can present information that is useful for making decisions about business continuity plans. Here, it is described that a CPU derives restoration-related information that indicates the restoration period and restoration costs for the entire building based on the vulnerability level to a predetermined type of damage for each piece of equipment in a building that is the subject of decision-making for the business continuity plan, derives effect information that indicates the effect when damage occurs to the building and predetermined measures are taken based on the derived restoration-related information, and displays the derived effect information on a display.

In the past, priorities were sometimes set for the supply destinations of electricity and water resources in the event of a disaster. However, there was a problem in that this only included the preparation of emergency drinking water and emergency power sources, and no consideration was given to limiting the areas to which electricity and water resources were supplied in the event of a disaster in order to conserve energy.

In addition, when restricting the supply of electricity or water resources, for example, it was necessary to check each supply destination and open and close each breaker and valve individually, making it difficult to respond to emergencies. Furthermore, information about areas where supply restrictions were imposed was not organized and stored as data, and there was a problem that in order to inform users, it was necessary to reorganize this information, create diagrams, make announcements, and take other time.

The purpose of this application is to provide a business continuity planning support system that resolves these issues and extends the period during which facility functions can be maintained by efficiently utilizing resources during disasters.

In addition, the aim is to allow users to easily check information on the supply situation, such as whether resources are being supplied and the areas where they can be supplied, on their mobile terminal devices, and to provide the necessary services in the necessary locations.

In order to achieve the above objective, the business continuity planning support system of the present invention is characterized in that, when a disaster is detected, the equipment information management unit automatically switches the equipment operation mode from normal mode to disaster mode, predicts the remaining amount of resources that the equipment can supply through simulation, and if the damage from the disaster is expected to be prolonged, switches the operation of the equipment and the supply of resources from automatic to manual, restricting them to equipment and supply areas of high importance, and extending the maintenance period of the equipment.

With the above configuration, the business continuity planning support system of the present invention switches the operation mode from "normal mode" to "disaster mode" or "long-term disaster mode" in the event of a disaster. In addition, a supply area is set according to the disaster situation. This allows the equipment to be controlled so that even the minimum amount of power and water resources are supplied only to areas that are absolutely essential in the event of a disaster, and a facility operation pattern can be constructed in "disaster mode" that can extend the period during which the facility's functions can be maintained. At that time, it also has a function to estimate the remaining time that power and water can be supplied by simulation. Furthermore, the status of each infrastructure such as power, water supply and drainage can be aggregated in a database, and the status can be "visualized" so that the facility staff can grasp it from their mobile devices or large monitors in the facility. In addition, in the "normal mode", information can be provided for the purpose of preventing infection with the new coronavirus and the like, as well as the usage status of various types of energy.

In addition, it is preferable that the business continuity planning support system have the equipment information management unit supply the necessary amount from the equipment to the necessary locations in disaster mode, and extend the maintenance period of the equipment by restricting supply to the minimum supply area according to the importance of the purpose of use in long-term disaster mode. In this way, the central monitoring device constantly grasps and manages the equipment and energy usage, etc. Then, in the event of a disaster, it can immediately grasp the status of the infrastructure, measure the remaining amount of fuel, water sources, etc., and control the equipment so that it is supplied only to areas that are absolutely essential.

In addition, it is preferable that the business continuity planning support system have the equipment information management department obtain the operational status of the equipment from the central monitoring device, accumulate the information in a database, and display the necessary information about the equipment on a large monitor within the facility. This is because it is expected that it will be difficult to communicate information to facility staff in real time when a disaster occurs, so the equipment maintenance time, area information currently being supplied, etc. can be checked at any time on the large monitor. In addition, by displaying on a large monitor, all information related to the disaster can be provided not only to facility staff and facility users but to everyone entering the facility.

The business continuity planning support system is also characterized in that, in the event of a disaster, the facility information management unit automatically switches the mobile terminal devices of facility employees to disaster mode and displays the information. In this way, the business continuity planning support system can quickly provide disaster information to facility employees and facility users in the event of a disaster. In addition, the chat function allows facility employees to share information about the facility's operations with each other using their mobile terminals.

In addition, in normal mode, the business continuity planning support system preferably distributes information on power usage for the purpose of energy conservation at the facility, information on the health of facility staff and facility users, and work-related notices as notifications to the mobile terminals of facility staff. This makes it possible to provide various related information to facility staff and facility users during normal times.

In addition, in disaster mode, the business continuity planning support system preferably distributes information about the disaster and information about secondary disasters caused by the disaster as notifications to the mobile terminals of facility staff. This makes it possible to prevent panic in the event of a disaster by providing and sharing information about secondary disasters caused by earthquakes to facility staff and users of the facility.

Furthermore, when the business continuity planning support system detects a power outage, it is preferable for the system to send a notification to a mobile terminal device informing the remaining time of power supply from the emergency power source and the power supply area. In this way, it is possible to quickly notify the user that a secondary disaster related to electricity will occur due to an earthquake.

In addition, if the gas supply to the facility is cut off, the business continuity planning support system preferably sends a notification to the mobile terminals of facility employees. This makes it possible to warn of information about dangers such as gas leaks in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake.

In addition, when the business continuity planning support system detects a water outage, it preferably notifies the facility staff of the remaining water storage volume and the locations where water can be supplied to the staff's mobile terminals, and if the facility has an emergency sewage tank, it preferably notifies the staff of the water level in the emergency sewage tank to the staff's mobile terminals. This allows for quick notification of the occurrence of a secondary disaster due to the earthquake within the facility.

The business continuity planning support system also features the ability to display information about the river's water level as a notification on the mobile terminals of facility staff if there is a river nearby, and to display weather warning information and public transportation information within the facility. This allows for rapid notification of disasters in which the river floods due to rainfall if there is a river nearby the facility.

In addition, it is preferable for the business continuity planning support system to constantly monitor for abnormal body temperature using the wearable devices of facility staff as information related to infectious diseases, and to display the results of temperature checks of visitors as notifications on the mobile devices of facility staff. This will allow information related to the risk of infectious diseases within the facility to be disseminated, and thorough prevention of the spread of infectious diseases to be achieved.

As described above, the business continuity planning support system of the present invention can extend the period during which facility functions can be maintained by efficiently utilizing resources during a disaster.

In addition, information such as the availability of resources and the areas where they can be supplied can be easily checked on a mobile terminal device, and can be provided at an appropriate location as needed.

(Business Continuity Planning Support System)
The business continuity planning support system 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In this specification, a medical facility that is highly public and where business continuity in the event of a disaster is important will be described as a typical application example of the business continuity planning support system 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this medical facility and can be applied to a wide range of facilities such as offices, educational facilities, commercial facilities, and production factories.

Figure 1 shows a system configuration diagram of the business continuity planning support system 1 according to the present invention. The business continuity planning support system 1 is composed of a BCP/facility operation information management unit 2, an earthquake observation/building monitoring unit 3, a central monitoring device 4, a management personal computer unit 5, an earthquake detection unit 6, and a display unit 7. The functions of these components when a disaster occurs will be explained using an earthquake as an example, but the business continuity planning support system 1 according to the present invention can also be applied to various disasters such as typhoons, tsunamis, fires, and tornadoes. The BCP/facility operation information management unit 2 and the earthquake observation/building monitoring unit 3 are built on a service known as "cloud computing," which allows users to use the service as much as they need, when they need it, via the Internet, without having to own infrastructure or software.

The earthquake detection unit 6 shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a vibration sensor 61 and an earthquake measurement unit 62, and the earthquake observation and building monitoring unit 3 is composed of an earthquake information transmission unit 34 and an earthquake observation information collection unit 35. The vibration sensor 61 detects the earthquake motion that occurs, and the earthquake measurement unit 62 quantifies the magnitude of the shaking of the earthquake motion and sends the data on the magnitude of the shaking along with an earthquake detection report to the earthquake observation information collection unit 35. When the earthquake observation information collection unit 35 receives an earthquake detection report, the earthquake information transmission unit 34 transmits the earthquake information to the disaster mode display automatic switching unit 25.

The BCP/equipment operation information management unit 2 receives earthquake information from the earthquake observation/building monitoring unit 3. Then, the earthquake information is transmitted from the earthquake information to the automatic disaster mode display switching unit 25 of the equipment operation information display unit 21. This equipment operation information display unit 21 is composed of an automatic disaster mode display switching unit 25 that automatically switches the operation mode display from normal to disaster, a manual input communication unit 26 that displays contact information by manual input, and a notification/transmission unit 27 that notifies and transmits information to a mobile terminal device 28 and a large monitor 29. This is because automatic control alone is often dangerous in hospital facilities and the like where there are many life-related controls, so it is made possible to switch so that input can be made by manual control. When the automatic disaster mode display switching unit 25 receives information on the occurrence of an earthquake, it automatically switches the normal mode to the disaster mode. Then, the notification/transmission unit 27 notifies the display information of the occurrence of an earthquake to the mobile terminal device 28 and the large monitor 29 in the facility, which are the display unit 7 that displays the disaster situation in the disaster mode display.

The equipment operation information display unit 21 receives operation information of each piece of equipment from the equipment operation management unit 22 and displays it on the display unit 7. The equipment operation management unit 22 is composed of an operation mode switching unit 30 that switches the operation mode of the equipment, an automatic/manual switching unit 31 that switches between automatic and manual, and a supply area setting unit 32 that sets the supply area. The equipment operation management unit 22 acquires information from the equipment operation information collection unit 23 that collects operation information of each piece of equipment and stores it as a second database, and information from the resource remaining prediction unit 24 that predicts the remaining amount of resources of the equipment by simulation, and manages the operation of each piece of equipment. The equipment operation management unit 22 sends control signals related to operation mode switching, automatic/manual switching, supply area setting, etc. to the equipment control unit 52 of the management personal computer unit 5, and collects the control signals as a database in the data collection unit 51. In addition, the flooding situation of rivers outside the facility is collected as a second database in the equipment operation information collection unit 23 from an external information source 33 as external disaster information from the external information source 33.

The central monitoring device 4 monitors the equipment of the medical facility, such as the power system 8 and the water supply and drainage system 9, and transmits control signals to control them. As shown in FIG. 1, the equipment of each medical facility specifically includes the following equipment. The power system 8 includes a substation 8a, an emergency power source 8b, a solar power generation system 8c, etc. The water supply and drainage system 9 includes a water pressure sensor 9a, a water tank 9b, an emergency drainage tank 9c, etc. The gas system 10 includes a gas pressure sensor 10a, a gas detector 10b, etc. The transport system 11 includes an elevator 11a, an escalator 11b, etc. The medical gas system 12 includes a gas pressure sensor 12a, etc. The equipment of each medical facility is not limited to these, and may include other equipment systems, such as a drainage system. Furthermore, these equipment systems and equipment may differ depending on the medical facility.

The central monitoring device 4 is composed of an equipment control unit 41 and a data collection unit 42. The management personal computer unit 5 is also composed of a data collection unit 51 and an equipment control unit 52. The equipment control unit 41 and the data collection unit 42 of the central monitoring device 4 are connected to the data collection unit 51 and the equipment control unit 52 of the management personal computer unit 5, and can be controlled by the management personal computer unit 5. The data collection unit 51 of the management personal computer unit 5 collects operation status information from each facility such as the power system 8, the water supply and drainage system 9, the gas system 10, the conveying system 11, and the medical gas system 12. The data collection unit 51 then reports the collected data of each facility to the above-mentioned equipment operation information collection unit 23 as facility operation status information. The equipment control unit 52 of the management personal computer unit 5 transmits control signals to each facility such as the power system 8, the water supply and drainage system 9, the gas system 10, the conveying system 11, and the medical gas system 12 to control them.

The management personal computer unit 5 also receives body temperature monitoring information from the wearable devices of facility staff and body temperature monitoring information of visitors as data from the infectious disease control information source 53 within the medical facility. The results are then collected by the facility operation information collection unit 23.

In this way, by making the most of limited facility resources during a disaster and making it easy to switch operations, a business continuity planning support system 1 is provided that can be used in appropriate areas or locations as needed.

(Facility operation mode)
FIG. 2 shows a comparison of the differences between a "disaster mode" and a "long-term disaster mode" for the "water supply and drainage system 9" of a medical facility as one embodiment of the business continuity plan support system 1. The "disaster mode" is a mode immediately after a disaster occurs, and the "long-term disaster mode" is a mode when it takes a long time to recover after a disaster occurs. In the "disaster mode", the remaining amount that can be supplied by the equipment is predicted by simulation, and the supply of the equipment is switched from automatic to manual to limit it to equipment and supply areas with high importance, thereby extending the maintenance period of the equipment. In the "long-term disaster mode", water supply restrictions are implemented for the minimum emergency area according to the importance and urgency of the purpose of use of the equipment. This water supply restriction can further extend the maintenance period of the equipment and devices.

As shown in FIG. 2, in disaster mode, water is supplied to the medical facility from the water tank 9b in the facility, and is mainly supplied to employee showers, toilets and hand washing, the dialysis department, the kitchen department, etc. In disaster mode, water is supplied to each water supply destination without any particular restrictions, as shown by ◎ in FIG. 2. On the other hand, in long-term disaster mode, water is supplied to the dialysis department without any restrictions, just like in normal mode. This is because it is related to the life of the patient. In addition, in long-term disaster mode, water supply to employee showers is stopped as shown by × in FIG. 2 because it is of low importance and urgency. In addition, since the "toilets and hand washing" can be covered by alternative means such as temporary toilets, as shown by △ in FIG. 2, use can be restricted according to the situation. In addition, since the "kitchen department" can be covered by food, lunch boxes, drinks, etc. provided during a long-term disaster, water supply can be restricted according to the situation in "long-term disaster mode" as shown by △ in FIG. 2. In this way, in "Long-term Disaster Mode," the maintenance period of equipment can be extended by restricting supply to a minimum number of water supply areas according to the importance of the intended use.

(Disaster mode and long-term disaster mode)
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram comparing a disaster mode (automatic control) and a long-term disaster mode (manual control) in the case of a medical facility as one embodiment of the business continuity plan support system 1. FIG. 3(a) shows the disaster mode (automatic control). FIG. 3(b) shows manual control of the long-term disaster mode. The upper parts of FIG. 3(a) and FIG. 3(b) show the main "areas" of the medical facility, such as general wards, operating rooms, outpatient clinics, and others. "Other" includes nurse stations, toilets, bathrooms, and the like. The lower parts of FIG. 3(a) and FIG. 3(b) show the types of "equipment" of the medical facility, such as lighting, electrical outlets, and air conditioning.

In this business continuity planning support system 1, a simulation is performed at any time to determine how many days the equipment can be used if it is supplied to which area by measuring or predicting the remaining amount of fuel and water in the generator. Then, based on the results of the simulation, in addition to "automatic control," a further "manual control" can be used to restrict the supply area of the equipment, making the business continuity planning (BCP) support system 1 more suited to disaster situations. In addition, in the case of the manual control system of this embodiment, the lighting and outlets in the general ward, the lighting and outlets in the operating room, and the air conditioning shown in Figure 3 (b) can be manually controlled in the event of a disaster, achieving detailed resource savings. Then, a comment such as "XX hours of operation remaining" is displayed at the bottom of the automatic control system and the bottom of the manual control system in Figure 3 (a), providing information to facility staff.

(Screen showing the operation status of each facility when an earthquake occurs)
FIG. 4 shows a terminal screen of the mobile terminal device 28 summarizing the operation status of each facility in a disaster mode such as an earthquake. FIG. 4(a) shows a comment "An abnormality has occurred in the facilities" as a disaster mode. FIG. 4(b) shows the seismic intensity of the earthquake, for example, "upper 6". Then, as a warning against the earthquake, a message to call attention, such as "We recommend that you have a professional check your safety", is displayed. FIG. 4(c) to FIG. 4(g) show the operation status of important facilities such as electricity, gas, water, medical gas, and elevators in a summary. For example, the electricity display column in FIG. 4(c) shows "Normal" or "Power outage", the gas display column in FIG. 4(d) shows "Normal" or "Caution", the water display column in FIG. 4(e) shows "Normal" or "Water outage", the medical gas display column in FIG. 4(f) shows "Normal" or "Caution", and the elevator display column in FIG. 4(g) shows "Normal" or "Limited". The most appropriate comment is selected for each facility depending on the situation. In this way, when an earthquake occurs, the operating status of each facility is displayed on the mobile terminal 28 in an overall manner, so that the overall status of each facility can be quickly and accurately grasped when an earthquake occurs.

As shown in FIG. 4, the screen summarizing the operational status of each facility when a disaster occurs is displayed on the mobile terminal device 28 not only when an earthquake occurs, but also when other disasters occur, such as a typhoon, tsunami, fire, or tornado. In this case, the screen in FIG. 4(a) displays the secondary disaster status for the disaster that occurred in a list, and appropriate "comments" about the disaster are displayed.

(Display screen of mobile terminal when disaster occurs)
5 to 10 show screens displayed on the portable terminal device 28 as (a) to (h). Screen (a) is the facility display mode section, and displays "normal mode", "disaster mode" or "long-term disaster mode". Usually, the "normal mode" is displayed, but a disaster such as an earthquake triggers a switch to "disaster mode", and if recovery from the disaster is expected to take a long time, the mode switches to "long-term disaster mode".

Figure 5 shows the display screen in normal mode, where screen (a) indicates "normal mode" and screen (b) displays the power demand. This power demand is shown as a graph of daily changes, and the graph is displayed when the screen is tapped. In addition, if the current value exceeds a threshold, the screen turns red to alert the user. Screen (c) displays the number of facility visitors who passed through the reception gate and whose measured body temperature was above a specified temperature. Screen (d) displays the amount of energy consumed that day against the target value. The lower row of the energy display shows the cumulative amount for that day, and the upper row shows the average daily value for each month of the previous year. Screen (e) displays the attendance rate of the facility manager, etc., calculated from the individual entrance cards, etc., for that day. Screen (f) displays whether an alert has occurred within the facility by displaying "normal" or "abnormal". The alert reported to the central monitoring device 4 is linked to the mobile terminal device 28, and can be confirmed even when outside the facility. Screen (g) displays "notices" for facility staff, such as "Freezer maintenance will be carried out as scheduled from 1pm today." This notice display can be used like a chat, allowing anyone to type in the information they want to inform the relevant parties. Also, by tapping, it switches to a larger screen and the display history can be checked.

Figures 6 to 10 show screens (a) to (h) that are displayed on the mobile terminal device 28 during a disaster. Screen (a) shows the disaster mode, and for example, when the earthquake sensor 61 of the earthquake detection unit 6 detects an earthquake, a power outage, a drop in primary water supply pressure, operation of the emergency gas cutoff valve, or precipitation exceeding a threshold value is triggered, and the disaster mode is displayed by the disaster mode display automatic switching unit 25. Screens (b) to (g) then display the current "normal" or "abnormal" status of each piece of equipment in a list.

FIG. 6 shows a list of secondary disasters that occur in each facility when an earthquake occurs. In this specification, since all of the screens (b) to (g) are "normal," it is shown that an earthquake occurred, but no secondary disaster occurred in each facility. In addition, the earthquake-related screens (b ₁ ), (b ₂ ), and (b ₃ ) display the earthquake's seismic intensity and display comments on safety. For example, "This building is safe (b ₁ ),""We recommend inspection by an expert (b ₂ )," and "We recommend safety confirmation by an expert (b ₃ )." In addition, the gas-related screen d ₁ on the far right shows that gas has been shut off due to the occurrence of an earthquake to prevent secondary disasters. If there is no gas equipment in the facility, that fact is displayed. This is because making it clear that there is no gas equipment can prevent panic. As mentioned above, with regard to gas, the operation of the emergency shutoff valve triggers a gas leak, and at that time the screen display becomes "gas shut off," and the display screen is colored red. In this specification, the facilities are "earthquake", "electricity", "gas", "water", "medical gas" and "elevator", but are not limited thereto, and other facilities may be added, and some of these facilities may be excluded. The display screen may be colored green when "normal" and red when other than "normal". Screen (h) displays information regarding the occurrence of the earthquake, such as the date and time of the earthquake occurrence and the epicenter of the earthquake occurrence.

FIG. 7 is an example of the display screen showing the supply status of the "electricity system 8" when an earthquake occurs. Screens (c) to (g) show "normal", which indicates that there is no particular problem with "electricity". In the case of an "abnormality", the display of "electricity" is colored red or the like to emphasize the "power outage", as shown in screen (c ₁ ). Then, as shown in screen (c ₂ ), the remaining time of the generator fuel is displayed as "72 hours remaining", and as shown in (c ₃ ), the power supply range is displayed as "1F". Then, screen (h) shows the date and time of the earthquake occurrence and the epicenter of the earthquake as information related to the occurrence of the earthquake.

FIG. 8 is an example of the display screen showing the supply status of the "water supply and drainage system 9" when an earthquake occurs. Screens (b) to (g) show "normal," so there is no particular problem with the "water." If there is an "abnormality," the "water" display is colored red or the like to emphasize the "water outage," as shown in screen (e ₁ ). Screen (e ₂ ) shows that the remaining water volume in the water tank 9b is "3 hours remaining," and screen (e ₃ ) shows that the supply range is "1F." Screen (h) shows information about the earthquake, such as the date and time of the earthquake and the epicenter of the earthquake.

Figure 9 is an example of the display screen showing the supply status of the "gas system 10" or "medical gas system 12" when an earthquake occurs. Screens (c) to (g) show "normal," so there is no particular problem with the "medical gas" or "medical gas system 12." If the disaster mode display automatic switching unit 25 detects an abnormality in the pressure of the gas pressure sensors 10a, 12a, it switches to disaster mode and displays it. In this way, when there is an "abnormality," the display of "medical gas" on screen (f) is colored red, for example, to emphasize that it is a "caution." Screen (h) then displays information about the earthquake, such as the date and time of the earthquake and the epicenter of the earthquake.

Figure 10 is an example of the display screen showing the status of "Transport system 11." Screens (c) to (g) show "Normal," indicating that no particular problem has occurred with "Transport system 11." When an earthquake is detected, the disaster mode display automatic switching unit 25 switches the display to disaster mode. When an earthquake occurs, the "Earthquake Occurred" display on screen (g) is colored red, for example, to emphasize that "Elevator Stopped." Screen (h) then displays information about the earthquake, such as the date and time of the earthquake and the epicenter of the earthquake.

In this way, in normal mode, the business continuity planning support system 1 supplies the necessary amount from the equipment to the necessary locations, and in disaster mode, extends the maintenance period of the equipment by restricting supply to the minimum supply area according to the importance of the purpose of use. In addition, the business continuity planning support system 1 accumulates information related to the operation of the equipment in the equipment operation information collection unit 23, which is a second database, and displays the information related to the equipment on a large monitor 29 in the facility.
