Summary of the Business Continuity Management Planning Methodology for ASMPT

Introduction

This eBook, Resilient Operations at ASMPT: A Guide to ISO 22301 BCM Implementation, has taken the reader through the key phases of the Business Continuity Management (BCM) Planning Methodology as applied to ASMPT. Built upon the principles of ISO 22301, the methodology ensures that ASMPT’s global operations in semiconductor and electronics assembly and packaging remain resilient against a wide range of disruptions.

For ASMPT, resilience is more than regulatory compliance—it is a competitive necessity. Customers in the semiconductor industry expect continuity, reliability, and quality without compromise. The BCM methodology equips ASMPT with a structured framework to safeguard its manufacturing precision, protect its workforce, and uphold its reputation as a trusted technology partner.

This chapter consolidates the seven phases of the BCM Planning Methodology—Project Management, Risk Analysis and Review, Business Impact Analysis, Business Continuity Strategy, Plan Development, Testing and Exercising, and Program Management—into a cohesive overview that highlights their interconnections and collective value to ASMPT’s resilience journey.

1. The Seven Phases of BCM Planning Methodology at ASMPT

Project Management (PM)

Lays the foundation by defining scope, governance, and resources. For ASMPT, this ensures BCM is aligned with global operations and strategic priorities.

Risk Analysis and Review (RAR)

Identifies potential threats such as supply chain disruptions, power outages, cyberattacks, and natural disasters that could impact ASMPT’s regional facilities and global customers.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA)

Determines critical business functions, acceptable downtime, and recovery priorities. For example, ensuring that semiconductor assembly lines and IT platforms have clear Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs).

Business Continuity Strategy (BCS)

Outlines practical recovery strategies, such as alternate suppliers, backup IT systems, and workforce relocation, to maintain critical operations during disruption.

Plan Development (PD)

Transforms strategies into documented BCM Plans. ASMPT’s standardised templates ensure consistency across global sites while allowing local adaptation for specific risks.

Testing and Exercising (TE)

Validates BCM Plans through structured testing, from component checks and call-tree notifications to advanced simulation and live exercises. This builds confidence and staff readiness.

Program Management (PgM)

Ensures BCM is sustained as a long-term organisational capability through governance, continuous improvement, and integration into ASMPT’s corporate culture.

Summing Up …

The seven phases of the BCM Planning Methodology form a comprehensive, iterative cycle that embeds resilience into ASMPT’s global operations. Each phase builds upon the previous, ensuring that risk identification leads to strategy, strategy leads to documented plans, and plans are tested, improved, and sustained through program management.

For ASMPT, the benefits are clear:

• Operational Resilience – safeguarding critical semiconductor and electronics manufacturing operations.
• Customer Assurance – strengthening trust by demonstrating continuity and reliability.
• Sustainable Preparedness – creating a BCM culture that adapts to evolving risks and industry challenges.

In conclusion, ASMPT’s BCM journey, guided by ISO 22301, is not a one-time project but a continuous commitment to resilience. By following the structured methodology presented in this eBook, ASMPT is well-positioned to withstand disruptions, recover quickly, and continue delivering excellence to its customers worldwide.
