Enterprise Risk Management in The Airline Industry
The concept of aviation safety and risk can have different perceptions: zero
deaths or serious incidents, free from hazards, aviation employee attitudes
toward unsafe acts and conditions, avoidance of error, and regulatory
conformity.
When new equipment is developed, or for instance a new flight operational
procedure is designed, the requirement for a safety assessment or risk
assessment is very common in the aviation industry before the new
technology or procedure is put into place. Very often, this is triggered by
the operator/manufacturer through recommendations made by aviation
associations/working groups or regulatory requirements.. An assessment
usually includes an overall evaluation of something called a framework that
may include a thorough review of particular subsystems. The assessment
aims to identify the level of safety associated with a certain action/operation
by identifying the expected risk(s) through guidance on the decision-making
roles to either accept or not accept the risk(s) to which the operation will be
exposed. This assessment, based on a predetermined acceptable level of
risk, can and should implement mitigation strategies and corrective actions
based on specific safety risks to reduce the potential effects of mitigation.
Safety and risk assessments are the terms most commonly used for this
assessment.
Risk=Likelihood x Severity E1
The ARMS working presents risk as a breakdown of each one of the four
components:

Risk evaluation and risk control for each hazard or category are
standardized, comprehensive hazard detection and risk assessment.
The acceptability of risk is assessed by matching the measured risk
level with defined requirements or safety objectives.

This is also part of the “risk analysis” which is understandable, defined and
evaluated for likely performance. No calculation is commonly considered to
be accurate. It is important to provide several safety therapies. If there is
only one therapy at a specific risk, without reduction of risk, the therapy
must be improperly handled. When assessing or implementing therapy to
reduce a specific risk, it must be guaranteed that treatments themselves do
not undermine or actually introduce a new risk to other therapies. For
example, if a suspected therapy was performed only in the winter to
minimize heat-related exhaustion, a new risk could be added for freezing or
icing exposure.
Understanding the idea of implementing an action plan is important,
because it helps explain the root cause of an issue. It can help identify
frequently occurring failures, and with time these problems have led to
more serious causes. When the resolution is recognized, it should be
developed in detail, tested to verify and validate the action. Records should
include the rationale and benefits of recommended actions.
Disposition Action Plan and Further Treatment
Disposition Action Plan is divided into various aspects such as
prioritization and scheduling, implementation, actions at other levels,
document, and close.
Prioritize, Schedule
Schedule is unique to every company that has its own way of managing the
schedule. The process determines qualified emergencies, for example, risk
reduction, cost, and implementation ease. This process involves setting up
tasks and resources to create and issue a service bulletin to organize the
system.
Implementation
When identifying and evaluating the action plan to correctly address the
issue or concern, it can be extended to the fleet or organization. Problem
management should be tracked to ensure the efficacy of the action in
lowering or removing the issue.
Further steps and evaluation are required where risk is already deemed
intolerable or whether the function will benefit from further risk
management.
Ultimately, the appraisal and analysis process continues until one of the
two consequences is reached, the task risk remains too high and then the
assignment is denied or input from senior departmental management is
required, the assignment risk is lowered to the acceptable level, and the
work profile and risk assessment is accepted.
This describes step by step, or in detail, how risks assessment and safety
assessment is initiated and processed in aviation. The initial assessment
and major assessment are divided into two different aspects. It describes
how to detect and process an event. If an event is not too serious, use
basic process to eliminate the threat. But if the event is complicated, a
major risk and safety assessment is considered and implemented. In the
next chapter, we will discuss about the methods or tools required to carry
out these assessment.
