Enterprise risk analysis in an engineering company with a focus on custom manufacturing

Abstract

The study details the outcomes of a scientific experiment analyzing enterprise risks in business processes. Examining and getting rid of enterprise risks is one of the most important management tools when it comes to reaching corporate goals. The new proposed strategy is based on the idea of process risk as a part of putting business processes or operations into action to get results that add value. The actual solution algorithm consists of the quantification of the difference between the level of risk and the enterprise's cost, the development of added value, and the operating profit. The experiment focused on a medium-sized engineering company that specializes in piece production. The principal outcomes of the technique are the realization that a smaller proportion of value added connected with the process results in a reduced degree of risk that is proportional to the cost ratio of the various production process activities. The hypothesis that manufacturing automation reduces risk has not been confirmed. It is advised that businesses document and review the time and cost components of each process on a regular basis. The outputs obtained from the solution demonstrate the suitability of the proposed process, with the outputs' validity demonstrated by repeating the analytical activities and comparing them to the actual occurrence of process risks identified by the model enterprise's managers during the execution of a real contract. The newly proposed method is expected to be appropriate for mass production.

Performance measuring of wood-processing microenterprises through Data Envelopment Analysis: A case study of Slovakia, Poland, and Bulgaria

“…Implementing the economies outlined in Table 5 would help them achieve their best, although this achievement may not be substantially different from EU benchmarks. The introduction of digitalization (Šimberová et al, 2022) and risk assessment (Kollmann et al, 2023) in their activities provides tools for improving the efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability, in line with studies dedicated to the wood-processing industry (Kovalčík, 2020;Gutiérrez and Lozano, 2020;Sari et al, 2018;Šporčić et al, 2014).…”
