The efficacy of measures is assessed through the amplitude and agreement level among respondents as well as a statistical comparative analysis to evidence the significance of the results.Main findings Our findings indicate that the mitigation measures implemented within the factory were well-accepted by employees and empirical evidence attests to the efficacy of the actions implemented, even though further studies are needed.Implications for theory and practice The study expands the literature about Business Continuity Planning and highlights the Evaporating Cloud (a tool of the Theory of Constraints) as a mechanism to broaden the capacity to analyze conflicts. For practitioners, this research presents a useful body of knowledge to deal with trade-offs at the enterprise-level. 2021 artículo científico 0103-6513 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=396766539003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396766539003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396766539003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396766539003/396766539003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396766539003/movil 10.1590/0103-6513.20200062 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3967 Production application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção Production (Brasil) Vol.31 |
