Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to convey the philosophy of systematically managing operational, technical, and corporate risks that may be encountered in production, manufacturing, and quality control processes to students. Within the scope of this course, it is aimed for students to acquire the skills to differentiate between the concepts of hazard and risk, score and rank risks using qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methodologies (Matrix, FMEA, etc.), develop risk mitigation strategies, and document corporate risk management processes in compliance with the ISO 31000 standard.

Course Content

Introduction to risk management, probability, hazard perception, and concepts of risk; steps of risk assessment; quantitative and qualitative risk assessment techniques; identification, scoring, and classification of risks; risk impact, frequency, and risk mitigation activities; ISO 31000 Risk Management Standards; principles and objectives of risk management; Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) approach; industrial risk assessment applications and FMEA examples directed towards production lines and quality control processes.

Learning Outcomes
1.Explain the concepts of hazard, risk, probability, and risk perception, and differentiate between distinct risk elements within industrial processes.
2.Select and apply qualitative (5x5 Matrix, etc.) and quantitative (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - FMEA, etc.) risk assessment techniques accurately to analyze risks encountered along manufacturing lines.
3.Score and rank identified risks according to impact and frequency (probability) criteria to construct an organizational "Risk Register."
4.Design preventive and risk-mitigating action plans that ensure acceptable risk tolerance levels are achieved for high-risk areas.
5.Document enterprise-level risk management processes and technical quality risk reports in compliance with ISO 31000 standard principles.

Theory: Course introduction, objectives, and an introduction to risk management. Application: Brainstorming and discussing general risk and hazard scenarios from daily life and industrial manufacturing facilities.
Week 2 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Concepts of risk, probability, and hazard perception. Application: Identifying, listing, and classifying distinct "Hazard" and "Risk" elements using a visual layout of a machining workshop.
Week 3 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Risk Assessment (Phases, scheduling, and planning). Application: Defining the boundary conditions of a target process for risk assessment and preparing structured data collection templates.
Week 4 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Quantitative Risk Assessment Techniques. Application: Mathematical and probabilistic risk calculation exercises utilizing quantitative methods such as Fine-Kinney or Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
Week 5 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Qualitative Risk Assessment Techniques. Application: Performing a qualitative analysis of quality control inspection steps using a standard 5x5 L-Type Risk Matrix form in class.
Week 6 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Risk Identification and Scoring/Ranking. Application: Calculating overall Risk Scores by multiplying probability and severity ratings, and sorting the identified risks based on priority.
Week 7 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Risk Classification Systems, Risk Impact and Frequency, and Risk Mitigation Activities. Application: Implementing engineering controls and the hierarchy of risk mitigation controls for operations flagged with high-risk scores.
Week 8 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Midterm Exam / Applied Risk Classification and Mitigation. Application: An applied midterm exam focused on documenting systematic risk mitigation steps based on a provided industrial case study scenario.
Week 9 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Risk Management Standards (ISO 31000 and integrated management systems). Application: Mapping the core clauses of the ISO 31000 standard against the functional structure of a corporate Quality Assurance department.
Week 10 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Definition, Importance, Principles, and Objectives of Risk Management. Application: Integrating corporate risk management policies and leadership roles directly into standard process fact sheets.
Week 11 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Application: Constructing a macro-level Enterprise Risk Matrix that encompasses not only operational risks but also supply chain and quality reputation risks.
Week 12 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Risk Assessment Case Studies (Example I - Manufacturing-Oriented). Application: Filling out a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) table and calculating Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) for potential defects (porosity, cracks, etc.) on a welding production line.
Week 13 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Risk Assessment Case Studies (Example II - Quality Control-Oriented). Application: Developing comprehensive risk assessment cards targeting incorrect measurement and faulty calibration risks within dimensional inspection and laboratory test processes.
Week 14 - Theoretical & Practice
Theory: Risk Assessment Case Studies (Example III - General Course Evaluation). Application: Consolidating all risk analyses developed throughout the semester into a holistic "Facility Quality and Operational Risk Assessment Report" and course wrap-up.
