Literacy review

As risk could be a threat, an opportunity or a cause of uncertainty in the company, more and more business drivers and stakeholders concern for the risk management. Organizations could estimate the potential influence of all types of risks on the process of the operation and manufacture through the enterprise-wide approach (Hutter and Power, 2005). To establish a good risk management in the organization, AS/NZS 4360 is a generic guide. It was released in 1995 and demonstrated the basis risk management process. To begin with, the company should establish a context through a completely understood of the external and internal aspects of the organization. The context covers the boundaries and objectives around the process of the risk management, external and internal stakeholders, Then, the company should identify all the risks in the company by focusing on the questions of what, where, when and how risks will occur. After that, it should analyze these risks to identify the likelihood and consequence of occurrence based on the prior experience and assumptions. Furthermore, the company ought to evaluate the risks to decide the priority based on the effect, likelihood and the costs and benefits. Subsequently, it needs to consider the treatments to transfer the risks and reduce the likelihood and slash the influence. After accomplish the risk assessment, the company should also arrange the monitor and review and communication and consult frequently to ensure all the risk management plan is reasonable, relevant, up-to-date and can be clear understood by all the stakeholders. The above graph shows the processes (AS/NZS 4360, 2004).

In addition, the ISO 31000 standard can also provide guides for the producers to manage the risks. It was released in 2009. Briefly, the ISO 31000 is one of the results of the global financial crisis in 2008. At that time, this crisis recalls people’s attention on the risk managements. Then, ISO31000, the new risk management standard was published to offer a systemic approach to implement the enterprise risk management (ERM). Compared with the AS/NZS 4360, it defined the risks in terms of the influence of uncertainties on objectives and it is more comprehensive which are fit for all types of organization and clearly identifies the responsibility in each position. Chiefly, key principles remain the same including the risk context establishment, risk identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment and monitoring and reviewing but there is a little change in the risk management framework. It greatly focuses on implementing the risk management. The following diagram shows the new framework.

Figure2: ISO 31000 standard framework

First, the company should have risk consciousness and the senior managers need to commit risk management. Second, it should design the framework by fully understand the organization, resources and the environment, make risk management policies and integrate them into the company’s operation and set up the internal and external communication and reporting mechanisms. Third, it ought to implement the risk management while conduct a continual improvement of the framework. Finally, the company should monitor and review the framework (AS/NZS ISO 31000, 2009). In a word, both the AS/NZS 4360 and ISO31000 are the significant tools to improve the company’s risk management in a cost efficient way.

One of its suppliers, Servocar uses horse meat to instead of the beef and pork in making the meatball. When IKEA sold these meatballs and labeled as the mature of the beef and pork, it have a big troubles. Now it has withdrawn the meatballs from more than 20 countries. This accident affects IKEA’s brand reputation, sales revenues and increases the expenditure on food recall and reselects the vendors. Among them, the direct economic losses of food withdraw are 1675 pounds which involve 760 kilograms of the meatballs (Ritter, 2013). In addition, the fish fraud now is common in America.

These sellers put expensive fishes label on the common ones. Even some of the fishes sold in the market are poisonous for the human beings.

2.  Unclear specification

Sometimes, vendors will use unclear specification especially when they use some ingredients or additives. For example, some producers always write C3H5O2Na in the food specification. It is the chemical formula for the preservative. Then, for the consumers who are not good at chemistry may confuse about this. These unclear specifications may cause misunderstanding as well. Subsequently, an unclear specification will cause a great harm to the consumers if they have an allergy to a certain ingredients in the products. If it is very serious, it will cause the legal dispute. According to the (Daily Mail Reporter, 2008) the poison milk has killed three children and 6000 child in China is made sick due to the use of the melamine additive in producing the milk powder. This is not only a disaster for the Chinese children but also destroy the Chinese milk industry. Now, more and more Chinese consumers import milk from the Hong Kong, Thailand, New Zealand or other foreign countries. They do not trust the local manufacturer any more. It will take a long time to rebuild the confidence for the local producers. In addition, some manufacturers did not write any caution or warning statements. It is very dangerous. For example, some products like jelly will harm the children under three. They will easily swallow the jelly and causes suffocate in just a few minutes. This is because the body self-protection mechanism of the child is not well-developed. When they eat the jelly, the jelly will prone into the trachea easily and consequently results in the asphyxiatio

The printing error and wrong printing plate during the packaging will cause the above damage as well and the usage of a harmful or unsterilized package in will make people sick. For example, for some products made in glass bottles need to have a full sterilization. Some bacteria may remain in the glass bottles when they are not completely being sterilized. Then, the virus will go to the genital tract through the month. Furthermore, the excess packaging will increase the fake. Sometimes, false makers will purchase the excess packaging and use them to make the fake.
