  • reduction of output
  • missing personnel, material, tools, documents
  • exceeding time required for setting-up and changing tools and dies
  • accidents of your personnel and other persons
  • substandard deterioration and defects at your plant components

Their cause: Basic Risk Factors

  • increasing the risks of deficiencies and faults, which again provoke other incidents
  • existing  permanently

  • having been produced by faulty (or missing) Management decisions, that again can only be corrected by Management

The Risk Profile of your organization tells you, where to interfere
