Designing Risk Management: Applying Value Stream Mapping to Risk Management

Abstract

Risk management (RM) in new product development (NPD) is often implemented as a standardized framework and ends up being carried out as a tick the box, non-value adding activity. To avoid this problem, RM needs to be tailored to the organization and NPD project. This paper identifies a gap in both understanding and facilitating tailoring, i.e. design of RM systems in NPD. To understand how to design RM systems, we must better understand how RM adds value to NPD activities. We applied Product Development Value Stream Mapping (PDVSM) to RM and conceptualized a Risk Value Stream Mapping (RVSM) framework to support design. Through a state-of-the-art literature review, we identified typical categories of value and waste in RM as well as approaches to model the RM in NPD. We developed and tested components of the RVSM framework based on PDVSM in three case companies. In this paper, results are presented regarding waste, value and potential ways to model the value stream in RM. The framework enables a diagnosis of the current state of RM in companies and supports future design activities pertaining to RM systems. This paper is positioned at the intersection of design, lean thinking and RM

The Mediating Role of Corporate Governance on the Relationship between Accounting Information System and Risk Management: The Case of the Jordanian Industrial Shareholding Companies

“…Failure to assess risk could lead to failure of the AIS (Montagna & Kok, 2016) and according to (Hopkin, 2018), risk assessment is an effective operational influence on IS success. Meanwhile, (Willumsen et al, 2019) stated that risk analysis in the IS development could mitigate risk of IS implementation and similarly, (Star et al, 2016) explained that risk management can be categorized into three, which are operational risks identification, financial risks identification, and risk management. These encapsulate the risk of failure of internal processes, human resources error risk, risk of IS failure, risk of loss stemming from external events, and risk of loss brought about by the breach of applicable laws and regulations (Star et al, 2016).…”

Risk Management Culture as a Systematic Method for Ensuring Safety Development

“…Naturally, in conditions of constantly changing internal and external factors of the environment in which the organisation exists, the threat of potential risks increases many times, which is why the leadership of most companies does not spare the costs of maintaining and developing risk management units. This policy seems quite reasonable, because who can better manage risk management than a team of qualified specialists, but there are pitfalls here, and to understand where they are hiding, let's pay attention to the general risk management scheme Fig.1 [1][2][3][4][5].…”
