Dependency Mapping for CBS-1: Electricity Generation and Distribution Operations for Malakoff Corporation
Introduction
This chapter presents a comprehensive dependency mapping for Malakoff Corporation Berhad, focusing on the critical business function CBF-1: Electricity Generation and Distribution Operations.
![[OR] [MCB] [E3] [CBS] [1] [MD] Map Dependency](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3893111/7a01ce57-7eef-485e-b95c-151da63b76db.png)
As a leading independent power producer (IPP) in Malaysia, Malakoff operates a portfolio of thermal and renewable energy assets, supported by intricate operational processes, robust technologies, and strategic partnerships.
The purpose of this dependency mapping is to identify and classify the essential components—people, processes, technologies, and third-party entities—that enable the continuous and resilient functioning of electricity generation and distribution activities.
These elements are mapped against key sub-functions (Sub-CBS) that collectively form the backbone of Malakoff’s power generation operations.
By understanding the interdependencies between internal and external components, this mapping enhances the organisation’s capability to assess operational resilience, manage risks, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
The structured insights provided in this chapter serve as a foundation for resilience planning, business continuity management, and performance optimisation across the enterprise.
This is a detailed dependency mapping table for the Critical Business Function (CBF-1): Electricity Generation and Distribution Operations at Malakoff Corporation.
The table captures dependencies for each Sub-CBS under key categories: People, Process, Technology, and Third Party, and outlines how they interconnect within the service ecosystem.

Summing Up …
The dependency mapping for Malakoff Corporation Berhad’s Electricity Generation and Distribution Operations reveals the complex and interconnected ecosystem that underpins one of Malaysia’s most vital utility providers.
Each sub-function is critically supported by specialised personnel, structured processes, advanced technology systems, and collaborative third-party arrangements.
This detailed mapping highlights the significance of cross-functional integration, especially in areas such as grid coordination, regulatory compliance, and emergency response.
It also underscores the importance of digital infrastructure and external partnerships in maintaining operational continuity.
By clearly identifying and documenting these dependencies, Malakoff is better positioned to anticipate disruptions, respond to evolving risks, and ensure uninterrupted delivery of electricity to the national grid.
This forms a vital part of the organisation’s broader commitment to sustainability, energy security, and stakeholder value.
