Context
Product Description
Lawn Solution Ltd has recently produced a conceptual design for an automated lawn mower with GPS tracking system. The intended product targets to gain profit and beat competitors, mainly automated lawn mower producers which dominate the current market. Besides discovering future uses of GPS as it gets cheaper, the company also aims to enhance reliability of current automated lawn mowers. This is achieved by using the GPS tracking system which is more accurate and permits complete control of mower’s position.
The company focuses to sell the Automated GPS-Integrated Lawn Mower to city councils, medium to high income private owners and large companies such as universities and park owners. They are recommended to utilise this product as it is more reliable, automated, broader working range and capable of providing better results.
Stakeholders
These includes government safety regulators (for consent processes), road worthiness agencies (for consent processes), GPS coverage providers (for consent processes), research feedback organizations (for approval), media (for advertisement and feedback), society (for environmental constraint), owners (financial and decision making), telecommunication engineer sub-contractors (network system for GPS).
Scope
The scope of this report is the risk management of the Automated GPS-Integrated Lawn Mower product. This includes the risk assessment and the plans for risk treatment and communication for each of the risks identified. The project management and financial decision-making are not included in the scope of the report even though it supports those processes.

Conclusion
From the risk assessment, it is found that the most critical risk is the implementation of the GPS technology and the management decision on when to release the product to the public. There is less risk in other factors as the rest of the project is based on already available operation of Lawn Solutions ltd. However, as this is an autonomous product and is first of its kind, there is a lot of attention on this product. Thus, the media may play an important role on the marketing side of this project. This combination of risks means that attention needs to be placed on public relations and publicity. The report also documents the recommended steps to ensure the opportunities are taken. This report will be useful for the management in decision making to set priorities and improve the product’s performance in the market.
SMC is a relatively small manufacturer with a long history and strong brand image. Sales had been consistent for approximately the past 5 years when SMC received a proposal in early 1996. They were currently selling three main mower units. A zero-turning radius riding mower, the Ride King, which accounted for 63.6 percent of SMC’s total sales and 57.8 percent of their total gross profit in 1995. SMC sold a trail mower, the T-44, which accounted for 8.2 percent of total sales and 13.2 percent of total gross profit. They also produced push mower kits, which contributed 8.2 percent of total gross profit. The sells of replacement parts made up the remaining 20 percent of total sales and 29 percent of total gross profit. SMC had the Trim-Max to introduce as a new product line.
After several new product failures, the company began using customer input to help develop new products. In 1989, the fishing electronics industry is experiencing a downturn, and the company's sales and profits are slipping. The company, which has one product line (depth sounders) and a strong brand (Hummingbird), has conducted substantial market research on three new products. These products are project 901, hummingbird VHF Radio, Locator/ GPS navigator. Of these, project 901 is an extension of the depth sounder product, while the other two would be new product lines for the company. Top management is deciding which one or more of the three new products it should proceed with. In this paper, I will discuss the positive and negative aspects of each product ideas and my recommendations to Techsonic management
MillerCoors can establish the context as generalized machinery failure. Through identifying the risk, MillerCoors can identify the source of machinery failure could happen anywhere from production machinery to delivery equipment, with the causation arising from mishandling of machinery, general wear and tear or even sabotage events. Consequently, failures in machinery could not only create operational delays, but would cause financial loss and increased liability. Depending on the age and the extent of personnel training, the likelihood of machinery failure would vary drastically within the organizations and between brewery operations. To properly evaluate machinery failure risk, all eligible assets should be broken down into different levels, based in the type, age and complexity of the machinery. To reduce the risk and loss potential, MillerCoors, should instill performance measure to within policies and procedures to makes sure equipment is regularly inspected. In addition, the organization should focus on provided proper and frequent training to make sure personnel are educated in the use of the organizations machinery. Therefore, through the risk management process MillerCoors can provide treatment to reduce the effects of machinery
...ial approaches which are Normal Accident and HROs, although it seems certain that both of them tends to limit the progression that can contribute toward achieving to highly protective systems. This is because the scope of the problems is too narrow and the potential of the solutions is too limited as well. Hence, Laporte and Consolini et.al., (1991) as cited in Marais, et.al., (2004) conclude that the most interesting feature of the high reliability organization is to prioritize both performance and security by the managerial oversight. In addition, the goal agreement must be an official announcement. In essence, it is recommended that there is a continuing need in the high risk organizations for more awareness of developing security system and high reliability environment in order to gain highly successful method to lower risk in an advance technology system.
RCGM authorizes import/export for research and development purposes. It is then responsible for issuing approval till the pre-clinical study period. CDSCO is responsible for approving clinical trials, then permission for manufacturing, import/export and then issuing licenses for marketing. GEAC which comes under MoEF is responsible for approval of large scale use of GMOs. State FDA’s then issue licenses for the marketing of these products in their respective states.
In 2010, Google broadcasted that they created an archetype of a car that can drive itself; its purpose, to avert collisions, allow citizens more time, and cut down on harmful pollutants that vehicles produce (Poczter & Jankovic, 2014). The heart of the self-driving automobile is lasers that are mounted on the roof of a modified Toyota Prius that produces a precise three-dimensional atlas of the area surrounding the car. Furthermore, the automobile is outfitted with four radars, and another laser around the vehicle that allows it to precisely create a 3-D map of its surroundings (Poczter & Jankovic, 2014). The vehicle calculates the laser dimensions with high-resolution maps of the globe, which allows it to drive itself without human intervention, while evading obstacles and obeying traffic laws (How Google’s self-Driving Car Works, 2011).

There was a time a person would use a roadmap to get from one location to another. Some also would stop and ask for directions. Today, you seldom see paper maps and people stopping at a local gas station for directions. Many vehicles come with a navigation system that provides a real-time map of the vehicle’s current location as well as systematic directions to requested destination.
Preventive maintenance is the base of the entire maintenance strategy for every pharmaceutical industry. One of the frequent problems that PM programs may confront is to maintain equally every equipment or parts involved in the pharmaceutical manufacturing. A safer path is to apply a risk-based approach that separates each equipment or parts of equipment in terms of their direct contact with product and possible defects on possibly affecting product quality [2]. It is useful to apply a risk-based approach to prioritize and organize the documentation needed. PM activities are more vulnerable to risks in the period of time of parts changes, including scheduled shutdowns or special projects. Complete process documentation and operating procedures, including organizational policies should exist for all maintenance activities [2].
As the first step, identify potential risks plays a crucial role in the risk management process. The core purpose of identifying risk is to figure out causes of risk and analyze result caused by the risks and its probability . Hence, risk identification can begin with the source of problem, or with the problem itself. The chosen method of identifying risk may depend on culture, industry practice and compliance. The identification
