Japanese companies are actively expanding overseas these days; however, setting up an overseas factory involves significant management of risks that are different from those within Japan. This paper identifies risks unique to such overseas situations and examines the methods for managing and handling those risks. Although more companies are incorporating business continuity plans (BCP) and crisis management into their operations since the Great East Japan Earthquake and the 2011 Thailand floods, it is also necessary to incorporate risk management into overseas expansion plans. The purpose of this paper is to study how Japanese companies should manage their businesses while considering the risk management of manufacturing overseas. I would like to divide risk management into its process and method of analysis. I try to detail a risk management plan that incorporates business continuity.
