In the event of a machinery breakdown during production, I immediately implement a contingency plan. First, I assess the feasibility of using in-house alternative manufacturing methods to minimize downtime. If this is not possible, I activate pre-established arrangements with trusted external partners to outsource the production batch, ensuring timely completion. Maintaining strong relationships with reliable partners and having a clear backup strategy in place ensures that production continues with minimal disruption.

Of course, we must have a contingency plan, which must be ensured during the process design. During process design, one must understand the criticalities of processes and ensure a sufficient backup plan to ensure sustainable production. Ensuring the reliability of critical machines through preventive and predictive maintenance is vital.
