Crisis Management: Imagine the Worst
|
Meet The Experts - 28 Feb 2012 On October 8, 2011 the 10 metre high water blockage in Nikom Rojna industrial estate, which housed many manufacturing plants, had collapsed. The strong current had interfered reconstruction effort and resulted in the whole area being non-operational. One of the major manufacturing plants, Honda, was left virtually inaccessible.
Thailand is the world's 2nd largest producer of hard disk drives accounting for approximately 25% of the world's production. Many of the factories that make hard disk drives have been flooded, including Western Digital's, Toshiba, Seagate and Samsung. Western Digital, the world’s largest HDD maker, has approximately 37,000 workers in Thailand and was forced to temporarily halt production, according to an iSuppli report. The company produced 53.8 million HDDs in the second quarter this year, representing a 32 percent share of the global market. Toshiba, the fourth ranked HDD supplier, also recently shut down production.
