After several disasters, e.g. the South Hyogo prefecture Earthquake, 11 September Attacks, it is aware of importance to have a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for the disaster. On 2005 the Government of Japan also issued several "guidelines to establish Business Continuity Plan" in order to support each organization to establish BCP.
The Oil  Gas industry has already assessment methods for evaluation of risk related to natural disaster, fire and explosion, etc. and several countermeasures based on the assessments. However such countermeasures seem nominal and are not implemented pragmatically, since it is various for respective stakeholders to evaluate such countermeasures.
For a company, who plans to establish Risk Management and Business Continuity Management, it is also crucial to know cost-effectiveness in addition to the expected result of the countermeasures.
This project aims to find and propose accountable evaluation methods of expected result and cost–effectiveness by using system design management method after reviewing the current company's risk assessment and countermeasures to the large –scale earthquake.
