What was learned by The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake

Plant Management point of view
Operator will be in panic immediately after earthquake, do not
expect complex decision
-->Preparations are important
Automatic sequence, Train people, Easy understanding

Manual/Procedure and cyclic training were effective but not for
all cases
-->Effectiveness of manual/Procedure and training are
depend on the contents and quality
-->Foresight about disaster is important

Need to know there are so many operation after plant shutdown
-->Need to prepare procedure manual after shutdown

What was learned by The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake

Yokogawa research about Plant Automation
1. Plant were not shut down under strong earthquake
– Many customers checked their operations whether they should shutdown
plant or not.

2. Damages of Automation Devices
– To fix Devices to the floor mitigate the damages compare to the not fixed
devices
-->Every important devices and other asset need to fix to floor or
fixed table
( EX: PC fall down from desk and break, Bookshelf hit the
control system)
-->Earthquake tolerance design is important

Damages of The Great East Japan Earthquake

Damages
– Earthquake
• Short-period earthquake ground motion
• Long-period earthquake ground motion(Sloshing)
• Liquefaction
– Tsunami

What we learned by The Great East Japan Earthquake
– Preparations and training are important
• Prepare and train to act immediately after disaster
• Training to support immediate decision is important
• Need to prepare any thinkable case, not to limit by the past
experiences

Change risk
Un-Acceptable -->Acceptable
<Document Number>
<date/time>

Lessons learned about automation system

<Preparations are important>
• Need to install important system to the higher level than
Tsunami

• Need to store the Back-up media and software to the
safety area
• We can provide hardware but it takes long time to
prepare software

• Need to store latest documents documents to safety area
• Need to brush up documents
• Latest documents are effective to prepare hardware

<Document Number>
<date/time>

How we face with the disaster

Preparation to avoid Un-Acceptable Risk
– Analyze disaster and make countermeasure for risk
• Un-Acceptable Risk --> Acceptable Risk

– Countermeasures:
• Minimize decision speed and support quick action:
Prepare manual, Train people,
Share information of case study
• Reinforce asset, system and software to avoid risk:
Simulate and reinforce
• Prepare for recovery:
Prepare latest documents and software to the safe area

Customers in the impact zone
• A saleswoman’s story
• Many plants lost equipment as well
automation
– Automated plants did not have the workforce to
remove the debris
• Customers shifting emphasis
– SIS systems
– Remote backup
– Energy savings

<Document Number>
<date/time>

Company response
• Prioritized manufacturing and logistics to
meet impacted customers needs
– Canceled/delayed orders to non-critical and
completely destroyed facilities
• Shifted Manufacturing days and work
hours to reduce electricity demand
• Cool Biz clothing
• Flexibility in commuting and working at
home

Road Recovery
• On March 11, total length of 870 km (=
540 miles) of roads were damaged.
• By March 22, 93% or 809 Km (= 505
miles) of them were recovered for through
traffic.
• The picture on page 1 shows the road
damage (photo taken on March 12).
• The second picture shows how it was
recovered just in 6 days.

Preparing for Evil HBR-Mitroff & Alpaslan-2003

Crisis-prepared companies are proactive.
– They force themselves to confront crises they’ve never experienced—or can’t
even imagine. These organizations encounter fewer calamities and recover
faster. They also stay in business longer and fare better financially

Internal Assassins- Ask cross functional
team with their insider knowledge
how they would destroy the company

Hire outside outsiders to test systems
