Upravljanje rizicima u proizvodnji naoružanja i vojne opreme/Risk management in the production of weapons and military equipment
Abstract
U radu je objašnjen pojam rizika i upravljanja rizikom u specifičnim uslovima proizvodnje naoružanja i vojne opreme (NVO). Analizirane su glavne karakteristike eksplozivnih materija, koje izazivaju najveće rizike u proizvodnji NVO. Razrađene su faze u procesu upravljanja rizicima, kao i metode upravljanja rizikom. Zaključeno je da je pri upravljanju rizicima presudan uticaj menadžmenta kompanije da rizike dovede u prihvatljive okvire. (The paper discusses the notions of risk and risk management in specific conditions of the production of weapons and military equipment (MWE). The main characteristics of explosive materials, the most frequent risk sources in the production of MWE, have been analyzed as well as the phases in the risk management process and the risk management methods. Introduction Risk is nowadays considered as a serious economical, public and political issue. Risk management enables identification and control of uncertainty varieties in order to avoid or reduce them by offering alternative activity routes to decision-makers. The production and application of modern WME involves handling hazardous materials and imposes needs for safety measures. Particularities of the WME production Explosive materials for military goods cause the greatest risks in production and charging as well as in storage and use. They consist of explosives, gunpowder, rocket propellants (solid and liquid), liquid oxidizers of rocket propellants and pyrotechnic mixtures. Reducing risks in production to an acceptable level The key of successful risk management is a clear definition of a risk assessing domain s well as the identification and characterization of potential threats. The risk management process consists of the following phases: risk identification, risk analysis, risk assessment, procedures in risk occurrences and the risk control of required measures. Conclusion The management of each company has a key role in risk management, reducing risks to acceptable levels in cooperation with government and specialized institutions.)
