n UMC strives to provide the most competitive
wafer foundry services while constantly pursuing codevelopment
partnerships with customers. To provide
customers with diversified, quality and uninterrupted
foundry manufacturing service is the highest principle
of the Company’s business continuity management.
n UMC will carry out BCM organizational operations,
conduct operational impact analysis and risk
assessment, and initiate its BC strategy and
objective accordingly as the operating environment
changes. Necessary resources are then invested for
implementation, review and constant improvement.
n When disasters or events impacting operations occur,
UMC will follow its BC strategy and invest in resources
to maintain and restore operations to the highest
possible level. During incidents, the Company will
also maintain open communication with customers and
stakeholders and strive for their best interests.
Objectives
n Personnel safety is the top objective for all the BC
activities and practices.
n UMC has established all types of disaster prevention,
countermeasures and crisis management abilities
to reduce impact to business continuity. Within the
timeframe decided by management to restore
operations, UMC will strive to surpass minimum
operation levels, in order to ensure customers’ and
stakeholders’ best interests.
n To ensure that the UMC BCM mechanism is correct
and conducted efficiently, UMC values and follows
the highest operating level standard, ISO22301. The
Company’s constant BCM improvement activities are
based on this standard.
UMC is fully aware of the impact of major accidents on
business. Since 2002, UMC has completed the Business
Continuity Plan (BCP) and IT Disaster Recovery Plan
(DRP) has also been introduced to backup key data in
an alternative server.
Over the years, UMC has managed to provide continuous
manufacturing services through incidents such as
SARS and the 921 and 331 earthquakes. In addition,
Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) and
management organization were established to maintain
customer satisfaction in terms of variety, quality and
continuity in 2012.
