Risk management is a cornerstone of an effective Quality Management System (QMS). It empowers organizations to anticipate challenges, protect quality, and drive continuous improvement. By embedding risk-based thinking into their QMS, businesses can not only safeguard operations but also unlock opportunities for sustainable growth and long-term success.
So, what is risk management?
It’s the process of identifying, assessing, and addressing potential risks that could impact an organization’s objectives, operations, or outcomes. This proactive approach helps organizations make informed decisions and maintain resilience in a constantly evolving environment.
The four key components of risk management include:
-
Identification – Recognizing potential risks before they become problems.
-
Assessment – Evaluating the likelihood and impact of each risk.
-
Mitigation – Developing strategies to reduce or eliminate risk.
-
Monitoring – Continuously tracking risk factors and updating strategies as needed.
