Critical Functions refer to essential services or activities that must continue without interruption during and after a disruption or crisis. These functions can be government or privately owned, and any disruption or corruption can result in severe economic and social losses. In business continuity planning, critical functions are defined as a set of activities normally performed by a unit that must continue within the first 30 days of a disruption. The identification of critical functions is crucial for any organization to ensure the protection of assets and compliance with regulations. Critical functions can range from safety to supply chain and could lead to a severe economic loss if interrupted. Testing of hypothesis also uses critical values that separate the critical and acceptance regions. Overall, critical functions play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient functioning of government and business operations during and after disruptions.
