6.1 Actions to address risks and opportunities​

Please refer to Annex A, Risks Registers for department, process and procedures, and shared services.

6.1.1 Addressing Risks & Opportunities​

The overall aim of risk and opportunity management within AAPMC is to ensure that organizational capabilities and resources are employed in an efficient and effective manner to take advantage of opportunities and to mitigate risks.

Top management are responsible for incorporating risk based thinking in to our organisation's culture. This includes the establishment of risk management policies and targets to ensure effective implementation of risk and opportunity management principles and activities by:

  • Providing sufficient resources to carry out risk and opportunity management activities;
  • Assigning responsibilities and authorities for risk and opportunity management activities;
  • Reviewing information and results from audits and risk and opportunity management activities.

The scope of AAPMC’s risk and opportunity management process includes the assessment of the internal and external issues identified in Section 4.1, and the assessment of the needs and expectations of any interested parties identified in Section 4.2. Risk and opportunity management is undertaken as part of AAPMC’s day-to-day operations.

AAPMC has classified its risk appetite as the amount of risk that we are willing to accept in pursuit of an opportunity or the avoidance of risk where each pertains to product and/or system conformity, and which reflect the following considerations:

  • Risk management per product or process;
  • Capacity to take on or mitigate risk;
  • Our objectives, business plans and stakeholder demands;
  • Evolving industry and market conditions;
  • Tolerance for failures.

AAPMC uses registers to help record, assess, respond, review, report, monitor and plan for the risks and opportunities that we perceive to be relevant. The registers allow our Organisation to methodically assess each risk and to study each opportunity associated with our Organisational context, and the needs and expectations of our interested parties. The register records the controls and treatments of risks and opportunities and preserves this knowledge as documented information.

6.2 Quality objectives and planning to achieve them​

AAPMC sets out its objectives and targets on a regular basis within the management review minutes where details of program dates and responsibilities are defined. Improvements in quality and performance are incremental and are in keeping with the size and complexity of our organisation.

When setting objectives and targets, our organisation ensures that they are consistent with the needs and expectations of our interested parties, as defined in Section 4.2, and to our corporate policies. In addition, technological options, financial, operational and business requirements are considered.

In order to determine whether or not our objectives and targets are being met, they are measured and reported as a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI). This allows progress to be monitored as metrics are gathered and data is analysed. KPIs and objectives for our Organisation include the following aspects:

  • Turnover rate & profitability;
  • Sales targets & Production efficiency targets:
  • Reject and Rework & cost of quality targets;
  • Manpower attrition rate

On the basis of the set quality policies and in connection with the application of the ISO 9001:2015 quality management principles, AAPMC sets quality objectives that are specified in the register of objectives. All employees are responsible for fulfillment of the quality policies and subsequent objectives. Managers of all departments are obliged to develop general objectives into objectives applicable to their departments and employees.

6.3 Planning of changes​

The quality management system is planned and implemented in order to meet our corporate objectives and the requirements of ISO 9001:2015. The planning process involves establishing and communicating our policies, objectives and associated operational procedures.

This document constitutes our overall plan for establishing, maintaining and improving the quality management system. For each instance of management system planning, the output is documented and retained accordingly and changes are conducted in a controlled manner. The management review and the internal audit processes ensure that the integrity of the QMS is maintained when significant changes are planned which may affect key processes.

Whenever quality management system changes are planned, Top management ensures that all personnel are made aware of any changes which affect their process, and that subsequent monitoring is undertaken to ensure that QMS changes are effectively implemented.
