Business Continuity Strategy
Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster
CBF-1 Project Design and Engineering Services
In the face of an unexpected disruption, the ability of Surbana Jurong (SJ) to maintain continuity of its Project Design and Engineering Services is critically dependent on having pre-identified and readily available minimum resources.
This chapter outlines the essential physical and technological requirements necessary to resume and sustain critical sub-functions of CBF 1 at alternate recovery locations during a disaster.
The identification of these resources — including staffing, workspaces, telecommunications, computing devices, and specialised tools — ensures that business continuity can be implemented swiftly and effectively, minimising downtime and client impact.
Each Sub-Critical Business Function (Sub-CBF) under this high-level CBF has unique resource needs based on its operational dependencies and deliverables.
By detailing the minimum quantity and type of resources needed per function and recovery site, SJ reinforces its commitment to operational resilience and proactive risk management. This analysis forms the foundation for strategic planning, resource pre-positioning, and continuity training, aligning with best practices outlined in ISO 22301.

Summing Up ...
Establishing the minimum resource requirements for the Project Design and Engineering Services function enables Surbana Jurong to recover and operate its critical design and engineering processes with minimal disruption.
The structured approach taken in this chapter ensures that each Sub-CBF is adequately supported with the necessary infrastructure, personnel, and digital tools, regardless of the location or nature of the disruption.
By planning for the minimum operational thresholds, SJ enhances its preparedness posture and ensures continuity in delivering complex, multidisciplinary design projects.
This resource readiness not only supports internal service excellence but also reinforces client confidence in SJ’s ability to manage crises effectively and maintain delivery commitments under adverse conditions.
