Risk intervention strategies

In the following sections, we will discuss the sources of supply chain risks, risk identification and classification, risk prioritization, and risk intervention strategies. 

Developing a risk map provides a quick and easy way to identify and focus on critical risks (e.g., those in the red square, high occurrence and high impact). The next step is to rank the risks in the various squares at least in red, orange and yellow squares, so that risk intervention strategies can be developed. We present a simple risk scoring method that uses risk priority numbers (RPNs) to rank the critical risks or at least identify the top 10 or 20 risks that need attention. 

Intervention studies usually measure relative or absolute risk. Analysis can either be done on (1) intention to treat, which compares outcome on the subjects assigned to each groups regardless of whether they continued with the intervention strategy, or (2) randomized treatment, which measures the outcome observed in the subjects being treated. The preferred method is intention to treat, which avoids bias that can arise from different levels of participation due to loss of follow-up (the loss of contact with subjects) however, the true effects of the intervention may sometimes be diminished. 

This scheme provides a framework for consideration of a range of early intervention strategies, focusing in particular on FHA-I- children who have the atopic constitution and thus are at high risk of development of an IgE sensitisation. The range of theoretical options includes the following concepts. 

Universal salt iodization (USI) is the main intervention strategy for iodine deficiency control, and was adopted by the International Conference on Nutrition in 1992, reaffirmed by the World Heath Assembly in 1993, and established as a World Summit for Children mid-decade goal in 1995- Salt has been chosen as a vehicle, because of its widespread consumption and the extremely low cost of iodization. In high-risk areas, where populations cannot... 

Surveillance data can be analyzed and interpreted to study possible associations between the WRMD surveillance data and the risk-factor surveillance data. The two principal goals of the antilysis are to help identify patterns in the data that reflect large and stable differences between jobs or departments and to target and evaluate intervention strategies. This analysis can be done on the number of existing WRMD cases (cross-sectional analysis) or on the number of new WRMD cases in a retrospective and prospective fashion (retrospective and prospective analysis). 

These are intervention strategies that are built into the product design, manufacturing and supply chain operations, in order to reduce or eliminate risks that can disrupt the company s supply chain. It is very important that the cost of the risk mitigation strategy does not outweigh its benefits. 

Social risk management. A framework that can be used to analyze the sources of vulnerability, how society manages risks, and the relative costs and benefits of various public interventions on household welfare. Risk management strategies include prevention, mitigation, and coping and may use government, for profit, or private informal mechanisms. 

Now the action begins. Up to this point, 1 have been laying the groimdwork (rationale and theory) for the intervention strategies described here and in the next three chapters. From this information, you will learn how to develop action plans to increase safe behaviors, decrease at-risk behaviors, and achieve a Total Safety Culture. 

For all risk factors and their combinations we will use both — routine and specially designed approaches to risk management with due account of new combinations of these factors. The proposed approach will allow to develop strategy of preventive intervention into risk management of the cohorts who working or resident in ecologically adverse conditions to use of...
