Business continuity plan
For an owner or operations manager: the activities the business cannot stop for long, how long each can be down and how much data it can lose, what each depends on, the fallback for each, and named owners, deputies, contacts and a test date, ready for a competent reviewer and the owner's approval.

Preventive maintenance plan
For one site, the facilities or operations manager gets every piece of equipment ranked by failure cost, an approach for each (run to failure, scheduled or condition-based), a dated calendar of tasks from the maker's guidance and the failure history, the spare parts to hold and the downtime measures to track.
