As a premise, an organization sets a Recovery Time Objective (RTO),
(1) which is based on Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD)
(2) and Current Recoverable Time (CRT),
(3) as part of Business Continuity Management (BCM).
(4) The author presents a selection model for a proposed solution to reduce the “Gap Time between RTO and CRT” (hereinafter referred to as Gap Time). The method used for Gap Time formalization is a 0-1 integer programming model. Because it comprises two models—“current recoverable time reduction maximization model (CRT model)” and “RTO achieved number maximizing model (RTO model)”—the author refers to it as the “Twin Model.” These models sometimes have trade-off relationships.
