...RISK PM595 Initial information used in phase 1 of the assessment process is based on project documents and the request for tender itself. Information for Phase 2 is derived from individual tenderer’s response. In phase 1, an appropriate system or element structure for examining the tender is developed and semi-quantitative approach is used to assess the likelihood of risks arising in each element and their consequences and then derive a baseline priority for each element and the project. In phase 2, the evaluation is modified according to the detailed approach each tenderer intends to adopt, and that tenderer’s capabilities. According to the text book some of the objectives of the risk assessment in tender evaluation are to provide an initial indication of where the major risks might arise in the project, prior to receipt or detailed examination of tender responses, based on a set of credible assumptions about how the project might be conducted. It also develops a risk baseline against which individual tender responses can be compared. It assist the project team to focus on potential risk areas, it provides a risk profile for each tender offer submitted and provides a documented audit trail. In Phase 1 a baseline is established against which tenders can be assessed before bids are received. In Phase 2 each submitted tender offer is compared with the baseline to develop a comparative risk assessment for each one. In phase 1 the structured and documented risk assessments...

...Risks exist in every aspect of business, but project management efforts are particularly sensitive to distinguishing and minimizing risk potential in order to complete the project in time. When a project management team determines project goals, it should discover all the risks that potentially threaten the achievement of these objectives. A comprehensive risk analysis can assist in finding out barriers to project’s success and develop contingency plans. Project management teams usually develop risk management plans that serve to identify risks, strategize ways to minimize or avoid those risks and develop contingency plans in case risks occur and delay a project’s completion. Projects often get started in the right way but then get off course. For example, project managers will take their time and resources to develop a clear scope and detailed plan with their team. Then something unexpected happens, such as natural disaster or major equipment failures. The project managers and team shift into their reactive mode and try to manage this risk based on their experiences and best judgment. But they do not know for sure if it works and hope for best because they don’t have time to analyze whole procedure and they have no opportunity to test it out. This is not risk management instead it is management in disaster. The problem is not a lack of understanding the “why, what, who, or when” of risk management. Lack of effectiveness comes most often from not knowing “how to”. To be fully...

...Introduction of the purpose and importance of risk management Risk management planning is a critical and often overlooked process on every project. Allowing for the proper amount of risk planning in your project schedule can mean the difference between project success and project failure when those potential risks become real issues. The plan is only the output of the process. It details how the process will be implemented, monitored, and controlled through the life of this project. It details how the group will manage risks but doesn’t attempt to define the responses to individual risks. Risks come about for many reasons, some are internal to the project, and some are external such as but not limited to the project environment, the management process, planning process, inadequate resources, and other unforseen instances that can contribute to risk. Risks associated with the project generally concern the objectives, which turn to impact time, cost, or quality, or combination of those three things. Risk management provides assurance that an organization can create and implement an effective plan to prevent losses or reduce the impact if the a loss occurs. A good plan includes strategies and techniques for recognizing and confronting the threats, solutions for both preventing and solving the situation and indicates financial opportunities. An effective risk management practice does not terminate risks. However, an effective and operational risk management practice demonstrates that...

By analyzing the qualities and quantities characteristics of the data, utilizing R to build linear regression models and compare them through R squares and residual analysis to decide the best one, and finally use the model to do interpretation and hypothesis tests to support our hypothesis and findings.

...Karen Gambrel Homework week 4 Risk Management 1. How does OSHA protect health care employees? OSHA protects health care employees by making sure that the employers inform employees of all potential dangers under the right to know policy. OSHA prevents accidents from happening. That is why they are strict and walk around in the work environment to prevent “occupational injury.” 2. What should be included in a waste management plan? All health care organizations, whether a hospital, ambulatory surgery center, or nursing home, should prepare an infectious waste management plan that: Defines and designate those wastes to be considered and handled as infectious materials. Segregates infectious waste from non-infectious waste. Establishes packaging standards for waste disposal. Sets storage guidelines. Specifies disposal methods. Details contingency measures for emergency situations. Arranges for staff education. 3. What does the employee health department do to protect employees? Health care facilities need to accept responsibility for their workers. When a new employee starts a job the employer makes sure there are a physical examination and an occupational history for everyone. Most employers have periodic health appraisals for workers exposed to a hazardous environment, returning from an absence due to illness or injury, transferring to another department, or retiring. In addition to the job orientation, health safety, and environmental information, selective immunizations...
