Enterprise Risk Management Implementation in a Manufacturing Plant

Case Study

Engineering self-sufficiency increased

The client lacked a unified risk framework, with fragmented mitigation across departments. Leadership had minimal visibility of risk exposure, and there was no linkage between risk controls and strategic or financial priorities. The rising regulatory complexity and hazardous nature of operations made formal ERM critical.

Developed and deployed a centralized ERM system to align risk identification, mitigation, and reporting across all departments.
Enabled leadership to visualize enterprise-wide risk exposure and prioritize controls linked to strategic and financial goals.
Strengthened governance by integrating risk controls with compliance and safety protocols, addressing the complexity of hazardous operations.
