Other Added - Conducting Risk Assessment
What's a Capability Statement?As the name suggests, it tells potential clients what you, or your organisation and staff are capable of. It highlights what your future capability is and reflects on your past successes.Capability statements are usually produced as brochures or booklets and are now increasingly appearing in online formats eg, HTML, PDF and self-executable ebooks. (The Entrepreneur Magazine section of "The Weekend Australian" of 25 Feb 2005 ran an article advising that legal and other professional firms are now using electronic media for their capability information). Include your logo, corporate colours and graphics so that your market develops corporate identity and branding recognition.Some organisations and individuals prefer to call them Corporate Brochures, Organisational Profiles, Prospectus' etc.
For the ease of this process, categories of risk should be created to focus the thought process. In the Risk Assessment Survey, the main categories include, Natural Risks, Man-Made (Human) Risks, and Environmental Risks. These are certainly not requirements, and should not be considered to be constraining.
The nature of a risk/threat should be determined, regardless of the type. Factors to consider should include (but not limited to):
1) Geographic Location.
2) Weather Patterns for the Area and Surrounding Areas.
3) Internal Hazards (HVAC, Facility Security, Access, etc).
4) Proximity to Local Response/Support Units.
5) External Hazards (neighboring Highways, Plants, etc).
Potential exposures may be classified as:
1) Natural Threats.
2) Man-made (human) Threats.
3) Environmental Threats. Wind Powered Cars; We Have the Technology - Is the Business Viable?
We seem to have the necessary technologies to make wind-powered cars, which use lasers to create artificial horizontal tornadoes or vortex airflows and the suction would propel the car down the road. But would it be a good business to get into to start manufacturing them? Well that my friends is a whole other story indeed.Due to the DOT rules in the US and the over lawyering it seems that without a special class for “Experimental” custom car kits it might be difficult try to run as a Rule Breaker, before becoming a rule maker although that in itself is also interesting. I would not be afraid to take the world by the balls again, but it needs proper funding and some really mean lawyers to run block and sack anyone who steps off the sidewalk to curb our forward progress you see.You have to play to win and the level you are inquiring
To be successful, any risk assessment has to concentrate on the local identifiable issues relating to the business. Before exploring other concerns, concentrate on the most realistic risks and threats that currently exist in the business environment. This can include factors such as:
1) The Nature of the Business.
2) Surrounding Area of Facility.
3) The Construction of the Facility.
4) Common Weather Patterns.
5) Technology Dependencies.
OBJECTIVES OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT
During the Risk Assessment, risks to the business will be identified and evaluated. The vulnerability of the business to these risks will be rated. You will also: 1) Identify what prevention practices are being used. 2) Define and implement safeguards to mitigate risks. 3) Conclude the overall risk to the business. 4) Build a case for strategy selections.
Once the assessment is completed, a business can make decisions regarding methods of mitigating risks. By completing a Risk Assessment and Business Impact Analysis, a business can implement the best strategies for Contingency Planning.
RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Despite the prevention practices utilized, potential hazards that are existent and could result in a loss to the business need to be considered. Even though the exact nature of these exposures and their consequences are tough to determine, it is valuable to conduct a risk assessment of all threats that can logically happen.
WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED?
All locations and facilities should be included in the risk assessment. Surrounding businesses, local fire, police, and community utilities should also be included in the assessment. Any vendor provided service that is provided to the business should also be evaluated.
STEPS TO FOLLOW
The following steps are necessary for completing a Risk Assessment.
1) Identify Threats/ Risk and Vulnerabilities.
2) Analyze risks and determine vulnerability.
3) Identify mitigation and recovery options.
4) Evaluate and Choose Options.
There are additional steps that need to take place during this process. Some of those actions are:
1) Review Internal Plans and Policies.
2) Meet with Outside Groups.
3) Identify Assets.
4) Conduct an Insurance Review.
ASSESSING YOUR RISK
The process of identifying risks/threats, probability of occurrence, the vulnerability to each risk/threat and the potential impact that could be caused, is necessary to prepare preventative measures and create recovery strategies. Risk identification also provides a number of other advantages including:
1) Exposes previously overlooked vulnerabilities that need to be addressed by plans and procedures.
2) Identifies where preventative measures are lacking or need reevaluated.
3) Can point out the importance of contingency planning to get staff and management on board.
4) Will assist in documenting interdependencies between departments and increase communication between internal groups. Can also point out single points of failures between critical departments.

New companies are springing up everywhere. But how can their service be measured? Where would you go to find good or bad service?How effectively are customer complaints and issues that arise from trading being dealt with? Many
companies have departments and call centres. But to many of us, the call centre can be the source of much frustration.If you've ever sat in one of these queues, only to have some tired, bored individual attempt to wade their way through the ever increasing complexity of products and services offered by some of todays
online trading companies, you'll appreciate where I'm coming from. Many companies will farm out the most important interface between customer and supplier to an overseas company. Who records the issues that go unresolved and is anything ever done about them?What happens? We hang up anounding Area of Facility.

WHAT ARE "UNTAPPED PROSPECTS?
Untapped prospects are a) accounts and sites with the same characteristics as your best customers, but are not in your marketing database, and are therefore invisible to you, and
b) unidentified key player contacts within accounts and sites
you are already targeting who are in the decision-making group for your product or service. These contacts are especially
significant, because they represent a segment of your market you may now believe is visible to you but in fact, is not.HOW THE STAUTS QUO CREATES BLIND SPOTS
Many marketing and sales techniques in use today practically assure that your company is overlooking major parts of
your available market, missing viable prospects in the part of
the market you are actively targeting.DATABASE BUILDING BY DRIVE-BY

Constant section or uniform section rings are often interchangeable with stamped rings. They will function in a housing or on a shaft as well as or better than their stamped ring replacements. Interchangeability is offered in both internal and external series rings. Internal rings are designed to fit into a housing and spring up into a groove exerting radial tension outward from the ring center. External rings slide over a shaft and snap into a groove exerting radial tension toward the ring center.There are many different types of retaining rings. Shown below are a few ways that we can customize a retaining ring. They are material, shaped wire, and finish or coating.Standard and Special MaterialsCarbon spring steel (SAE 1060 - 1095) is the standard material used in the manufacture of retaining rings, snap rings and bearing rsingle points of failures between critical departments.

Other steps in conducting Risk Assessment are to review following points:
1) Probability of Occurrence.
2) Vulnerability to Risk.
3) Potential Impact.
4) Preventative Measures in Place.
5) Insurance Coverage.
6) Past Experiences.
ANALYZING THE RESULTS
Once the Risk Assessment Survey and face to face interviews have been conducted, the next step is to analyze and present the results so that Executive Management can get most use of the data. Analysis can be a time-consuming and tedious process, especially with an enormous amount of data, but it is critical to the RA process.
The analysis will be the foundation for planning recommendations to senior management. The recovery strategies that need to be developed should be based on the findings of the Risk Assessment Survey and interviews, as well as the Business Impact Analysis findings.
FINAL REPORT & PRESENTATION
Begin your final report with an executive overview of the Risk Assessment Project. This will explain the objectives of the project, what was in scope, and what approach was used. Then provide a summary review of potential hazards.
CREATION OF EXECUTIVE REPORT
The findings from the Risk Assessment will form the basis for the final report. The purpose is to provide senior management with enough information to make them comfortable in endorsing the recommending strategies, actions, budgets or to accept the level of risk by not implementing recovery strategies. The report should include graphs, which visually demonstrate the findings. Do not overuse the graphs. Too many graphs and reports can make reviewing the information confusing. Provide graphs for overall information on the departments, financial impact, etc.
The final report should include:
1) Previous Disruption History.
2) Risks & Vulnerabilities.
3) Preventative Measures.
4) Presenting the Results.
5) Next Steps.
The Risk Assessment process is an essential phase of Continuity Planning. The possibility of a disaster impacting a business is unpredictable. The business should implement a comprehensive Continuity Planning Program and develop recovery plans that encompass all critical operations and functions of the business.
