MANAGEMENT
BY KAUSHAMBI KAUSHAL
Risk Management is a logical and
systematic method of identifying,
analyzing, treating and monitoring the
risks involved in any activity or process.
Decision
Tree
Analysis
Monte
Carlo
Simulation
The Monte Carlo process is an attempt to create a series of
probability distributions for potential risks, randomly sample
the
distributions, and transform the numbers into useful
information that reflects quantification of the associated cost,
technical performance or schedule risks.
USES OF MONTE CARLO

Low High
Impact
Likelihood of Occurrence
Consequence Health and Safety Likelihood Class (events/year)
Fatality or multiple fatalities <0.01% chance of
Extreme expected Not Likely (NL) occurrence
Severe injury or disability likely; 0.01 - 0.1% chance of
High or some potential for fatality Low (L) occurrence
Lost time or injury likely; or 0.1 - 1% chance of
some potential for serious Moderate (M) occurrence
injuries; or small risk
1 - 10% chance of
Moderate of fatality
High (H) occurrence
First aid required; or small risk
Low of serious injury
>10% chance of
Negligible No concern Expected (E) occurrence
The process of numerically analyzing the
effect of identified risks on the project’s
objectives In particular, the project schedule
and the project costs.
Quantify possible outcomes for the project
Assess probability of achieving specific project
objectives
Identify risks requiring most attention
Changes in schedule
No control systems in place
Unskilled labour
Material availability or poor quality material
Unreliable suppliers
Unexpected price increase (not budget for it)
Strikes
Weather
Regulatory requirements

Risks during the project close-out /
termination phase:
Unacceptable to customer
Poor quality product/project
Budget problems
