Overall, most companies had somewhat effective Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) in place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most companies surveyed monitor a broad array of events, but while COVID-19 is a global pandemic, most of these monitored events are local or supplier-specific. According to the Committee members, companies must continue to challenge the industry beyond the pandemic by collaborating, enhancing supplier/management relationships, increasing cyber security, and standardizing dual sourcing.
