But how bcp is done in sectors like Manufacturing , Petroleum or Aviation , we cannot really have redundant Plants of manufacturing or those units for petroleum . So in these industries how bcp is done , where does bcp play role in these industries , how business continuity is implemented in sectors like aviation , what value does business continuity bring to these mentioned industries.

Answer: Yes, you cannot have redundant manufacturing plants or petroleum platforms, but you can have as many redundant valves, pipes, and other critical elements, which a Business Impact Analysis and a Risk Assessment identify as necessary to avoid a situation to reach a level so critical as to compromise the entire facility. That's why, for example, a plane has secondary, tertiary, and even quaternary systems, to avoid a failure th at can make the plane crash.

So, not only in these, but in all industries, the business continuity management helps identify and implement business continuity in a cost effective way by identifying the balance between the smallest set of critical points that must be protected to achieve the greatest protection level.
