MARSQA February Lunch and Learn Webinar: Risk-Based Approach vs. Risk Management

Presented by: Steve Gompertz

Register Online

Risk-Based Approach and Risk Management are often incorrectly thought of and applied as synonyms when instead they are intended to be different but complementary methods with a common goal of identifying and controlling risk. For years, regulations and standards have been increasing their focus on the application of a Risk-Based Approach (RBA) to quality management. Unfortunately, many people have confused that concept with the more formal Risk Management (RM) process when they are two related but different concepts. At its simplest, RM is a subset of RBA, for use when formal risk analysis, evaluation, and control are necessary. In most situations, however, an awareness of the risks and how to mitigate them is all that’s required, i.e. – applying risk-based thinking; AKA a risk-based approach. The presentation will first establish a clear understanding of the basic concepts of Risk, Risk-Based Approach, and Risk Management, along with when to apply each within the Quality Management System. This presentation will be of interest to Quality Engineers and Quality System Managers, Directors, and Vice Presidents who want to learn how to make risk management much less painful.

    Presentation Outline:
  • What is Risk?
  • Risk-Based Approach vs. Risk Management
  • Identifying when each is required according to the standards and regulations
  • How can risk-based approach by demonstrated?

    Learning Objectives:
    Upon completion of this session, attendees will understand the following:
  • Understand the differences and relationship between Risk-Based Approach and Risk Management
  • Understand when to apply each
  • Learn how to demonstrate how your QMS is applying a Risk-Based Approach
