Actions to address risks and opportunities: Planning

How are actions to address risks and opportunities planned ? 

There are two approaches to the planning of actions to address risks and opportunities.
The choice depends of

• the size of the company, 
• the informal importance of risk management, when wrong decisions could cause substantial consequences (material losses, market losses, traumatism, etc.), 
• the level of personnel training. 

 1. Develop and implement a risk management system considering (or even in compliance with) ISO 31000. Such system fits in well with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.
An example of this decision in a concise form, when risk management activation are described in the form of a quality procedure can be found in QSP 6.1-01 Actions to address risks and opportunities.

2. Confine to staff training and a methodology of risk management that is easy to implement and that fully covers the requirements of ISO 9001: 2015.
An example of such decision is described in Methodical Manual MM 6.1-01-01 Actions to address risks and opportunities in QMS processes
