QUESTION – 2
ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE – LMF AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEMS
1.
Leobersdorfer Maschinenfabrik - LMF is an Austrian air and gas compressor systems
development company, having a sub-system production plant in Australia for manufacturing
of reciprocating and rotary air compressors for oilfields and industrial applications. The
company has an experience of around 60 years in design and development of medium to very
high (up to 700 bars) pressure systems. High pressure systems are inherited with heterogeneous
potential risks, giving an extensive exposure to management of multi-dimensional risk profiles.
1.1
Organizational Hierarchy
Technical and Administration directorates work in parallel hierarchy to undertake
design, development and business responsibilities of air compressor systems. A risk
management board overviews respective directorate’s work instructions and develop their risk
management plans accordingly.

LMF has constituted a dedicated Risk Management Board, scope of which, include
but not limited to:
i.
Estimate resources for proactive risks identification and ensure availability of
same
ii.
Acquire annual work plans from all departments, highlight potential risks
therein and recommend mitigation strategies
iii.
Channelize administrative and technical decisions through risk management
board
iv.
Maintain a comprehensive risk register, periodically update the same and
monitor progress on mitigated risks while keeping an eye on evolving risks.
1.3
Existing Context of LMF’s Risk Management System
Risk management board keeps LMF’s internal and external context in consideration
while forwarding periodic recommendations to higher management by:
i.
Keeping risk procedures concentric around LMF’s core values of safety, quality
and innovation
ii.
Deputing added responsibility of conforming risk management guidelines, to
administrative and technical managers
Imparting trainings to customers and suppliers to minimize potential risks while
interacting outside LMF for sales and procurements, respectively.
1.4
Existing Criteria of LMF’s Risk Management System
LMF’s comprehensive risk management protocols have ensured it to keep a coherent
and absolute approach to measure the intensity and likelihood of potential risks. This has made
company’s risk management procedures more credible and with discrete outcomes. Key steps
taken to make this happen are:
AHMED_FAROOQUE_ENG8103_ASS 2_Q2_2021

Administrative risks are assessed by multiple qualitative methods while
technical risks evaluation is carried out by quantitative risk analysis approach
ii.
Discrete guidelines have been detailed for qualitative risk assessment methods
to ensure correct analysis irrespective of the method used for analysis
iii.
Risks’ occurrence likelihood has to be supported by evident databases, inside or
outside of LMF

BUSINESS CASE – AN UPDATED RISK MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
At present, LMF’s Risk Management Board is responsible to:
Develop department wise risk management procedures and their implementation
Design a communication protocol for risk identification and registering
Monitor risk mitigation strategies and their outcomes
The existing risk management protocols are generic to the processes, though
emphasize implementation to the depth; consequently rising a need of detailed review and
gap analysis.
2.1
Feasibility of Risk Management System Review
Lately, LMF’s periodic industrial service feedback tempted technical team to review
its product development cycle and make it more risk concerned. An acute rise in requisitions
for aftersales repair and maintenance of Piston Shaft and Oil Filter Choking, was observed by
Technical Directorate. A fault tree and fish bone analyses highlighted certain voids in risk
identification and mitigation processes. The identified gaps require design and implementation
of a more detailed and comprehensive risk management system.

Terms of Reference
Aim of this report is to undertake the task of identifying major loop holes in our risk
management system, which has led us to the following issues in reciprocating compressor
system’s main assemblies:
Main piston shaft
Oil filter choking
2.2.1 Background
Conventionally, all the stages of LMF’s air compressors are assembled on one main
shaft, which is approximately of a length of around 3 ~ 4 meters. The shaft is dipped in
lubricating oil at piston cylinder to counter wear and tear effects. The repeated faults in the
main shaft and oil filter malfunctioning, however requires risk identification in each design
process and a design revision.

2.2.2 Design Revision and Updated Risk Identification & Assessment Methodology
To counter the above mentioned issues in compressor assembly, under mentioned
changes in air compressor system’s design are being recommended after due analysis:
i.
An angle type piston shaft design; 1st stage of compressor be assemble on
vertical piston assemble while 2nd and 3rd on horizontal.
ii.
Oil-Free piston assembly design; development of Teflon piston rings instead of
steel ones to avoid requirement of lubricants and oil filters.

Updated Risk Management Plan
Although, technical managers have been assigned dedicated risk identification
responsibilities, yet LMF’s current risk management board is mainly constituted of
administrative and quality assurance people. This had led to development of more generic and
an all-inclusive kind of risk management scope, context and criteria. A representation of shop
floor managers is desired at risk management board, along with that, an updated risk scope,
context and criteria is being delineated hereunder:
2.3.1 Updated Risk Management Scope
In detailed perspective, any unforeseen event to following components would fall under
risk management scope:
i.
Compressor structural safety

Risk Management Team
The idea is to pick the risk identification and assessments responsibility from risk
management board and to hand it over to assistant managers (AMs) handling respective
processes. Directors will develop risks response strategies and Managers will have to
implement and execute the mitigation strategies. Respective Directors will monitor the
efficacy of mitigation / response strategies from ground level through defined
communication channels. A brief work breakdown structure to carry out risk management
activities is being detailed hereunder.

Context with AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management – Guidelines
The updated plan derives risk management principles of adhering to company’s core
values of Safety, Quality and Innovation. Development of process oriented risk management
plans has ensured decision making is integrated with risk evaluations. Aim is to strive for a
continuum improvement of company’s risk management capability with its dynamic risk
assessment and mitigation culture from top governance to on-shop managerial levels.
Risk management framework triggers to develop and implement risk oriented work
plans to respective work procedures. The risk management process has been proposed to be
integrated with all administrative and technical work instructions and has also been made
iterative.
The updated risk management processes aim to discretely identify risks vis-à-vis to
respective work procedure and either analyze or recommend the most relevant risk analysis
procedure. Outcomes of each analysis would be recorded to make part of risk register for
iterative evaluation and consequent monitoring of mitigation strategies.

IDENTIFICATION OF PROCESS RISKS
The risk management is a shared responsibility of all the organizational stakeholders,
from board of governors to assistant managers and technicians. To identify risks, we might
need to consult risk criteria, already detailed in section 2.3.3. Keeping the risk criteria in mind,
and in view of results obtained through fishbone analysis of current product failure,
undermentioned risks have been identified to address the failure and are required to be
mitigated to avoid any likelihood of the same in future.

ANALYSIS OF PROCESS RISKS
To keep a numeric magnitude of risks probability and severity, it was deemed necessary
by technical directorate to shift from conventionally qualitative to currently into a semiquantitative or quantitative risk assessment methodology. The analysis needs to have a standard
definition of probability and severity marks and legends. The same is being detailed hereunder
with detailed risk analysis in the subsequent sections.

Medium: Occurs periodically
High: Often occurs but doesn’t occur when process is corrected
Very High: consistently occurs and would only stop if the risk process is changed
4.1.2 Severity of Risks Definition
Very Low: No mitigation required but addressing the risk would improve process
efficiency and may become an opportunity.
AHMED_FAROOQUE_ENG8103_ASS 2_Q2_2021

Low: No corrective action is required but can be a point of improvement within
the process.
Medium: An occurrence of risk that would require to correct the process to avoid
any major impact.
High: An occurrence of risk event that can have severe impacts on product
quality, economy, profitability or performance.
Very High: Major violation of government’s statutory requirements of a major
non-conformance of implemented standards including AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018

4.1.3 Parameters Evaluated during Risk Analysis
Under mentioned are the major parameters, probable impact on which, are to be kept
in consideration while analyzing process risks assessments:
4.2
Product cost
Organizational scope
Delivery schedule
Product performance
Analysis of Identified Risks
Process of risk analysis requires to be comprehensive and automated enough to capture
the attention of project team and decision makers, well before happening of risk events. To
ensure this, a pro-active approach of ground level product development team and assistant
managers, is critical. Risk probability and severity values are assigned to respective risks at
the time of identification by ground level product development team and assistant managers,
which is subsequently evaluated and approved by managers and directors. The identified
risks are proposed to be registered in a comprehensive risk register, which will ultimately be a
baseline document to propose risk mitigation strategies and their monitoring.

EVALUATION OF PROCESS RISKS
The process of risk evaluation is primarily based on the inputs on risk probability and
severity values that are assigned to respective risks at the time of identification by ground level
product development team and assistant managers. The combined effect of risk probability
and severity of its occurrence defines the magnitude of the extent risk mitigation requires.

RISK MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
Risk identification and registry requires a comprehensive communication plan
according to stakeholders’ interests. The risk register would consider all the impacted
parameters by the potential risks and the mitigation strategies would be well documented for
monitoring purpose. To undertake this, a risk communication plan is being detailed hereunder,
requiring inputs from all stakeholders so as to have their ample contribution towards risk
management.

Risk Monitoring Plan
As design and development of air compressor parts is a continuous process, risk
management is meant to be continuous also. Day to day risk mitigation activities need to be
endorsed and directed by the project managers. In reference to risks identified in section 3,
following monitoring plan has been devised and the same is to be integrated with main risks

REFLECTION ON RISK MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
LMF, the company under consideration had an existing risk management protocols that
were generic to the processes, though emphasize implementation to the depth; consequently
rising a need of detailed review and gap analysis. Risk identification and registration
required a comprehensive communication plan according to stakeholders’ interests.
The proposed plan has significantly addressed the gap and voids of existing risk
management plan; by proposing a risk register that would consider all the impacted parameters
by the potential risks and the mitigation strategies, which would be well documented for
monitoring purpose.
Addressing the failure of bending of main piston shaft and choking of oil filters, the
current risk management proposal did amplified risk identification in each design process and
consequently proposed a design revision. The resultant design of air compressor bears an angle
type piston assembly, in which 1st stage of air compressor would be vertical and the rest two
(2nd and 3rd) would remain horizontal. Additionally, to avoid oil filter choking, risk
management process declared the need to use TEFLON piston rings that would not be
needing any lubricant and will be having greater wear resistance than conventional steel
piston rings. The revised design will have a schematic as below:

The revised design, kudos to the updated risk management plan, will have low
operational costs, increased efficiency, low maintenance and also give company, a cutting edge
in technology in the market.

Gap Analysis
Although the current proposal of risk management has significantly emphasized
discretization of risk assignments, yet it is desired that the successive versions of this risk
management proposal need to incorporate following:
i.
Work instructions on quantitative risk assessments
ii.
Algorithmic decision making (WASPAS & AHP etc. based)
iii.
Integration of project management documents with risk identification and
assessments
iv.
Inception of an ERP based program of Risk Management
