BSBRSK501: Assessment 1 What you have to do
For this assignment, you will need to prepare a risk management plan for your organisation or for some other organisation from which you can obtain relevant information. Hint: Choose a small/medium sized business. Build a risk management plan for a small business such as a sole trader – a flower shop, homewares, bakery, or electrician rather than attempting to dissect a large Bank, McDonalds, a multinational insurance company, Bunnings or Woolworths. Task
Task 1
Establishing the context – Your organisation will consider both internal and external factors when identifying and managing risks associated with the achievement of strategic and operational objectives.
Arnott’s
The Arnott’s business commenced just over 150 years ago and has grown into an iconic Australian Company. It is a food manufacturing business using Linfox as its main distributor. It was started by William Arnott with a biscuit manufacturing factory in Newcastle in 1865, and soon expanded into Sydney. In the 1870s William Arnott was gifted a macaw parrot, and this became the face of Arnott’s biscuits. Many biscuits from the original portfolio still exist today. Milk arrowroot, full of fruit and water crackers went into production in 1882 and are still in the market today. Today there are three manufacturing sits in Australia. The chocolate biscuits in Huntingwood, Sydney; the fancy style biscuits in Adelaide; and the sweet and savoury biscuits site in Brisbane. There is also
a biscuit manufacturing site in Indonesia. Arnott’s maintain all their own recipes, and do not use any third parties to produce their biscuits. Arnott’s was a family owned business until 20 years ago, when it sold to the US Campbells
Soup Company in 1997. This added soups and sauces to the portfolio. There is now a factory is Shepperton, Victoria which produces soups, juices and stocks under the Campbells license and a site in Indonesia which produces sauces and soups. Two years Campbells sold off their Asia Pac division, and the Arnott’s and Campbells were then sold to a private equity firm from the US, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). The sale went through for $3.1bilion AUD. Arnott’s is run with a board of non-executive directors and a CEO on site who heads up the senior leadership team.
The company employs just over 3000 people across Asia Pac, and the head office operates out of one of the original factories that has been converted to a head office on George Street, North Strathfield, Sydney. The business sources locally in Australia for most of its ingredients, and is heavily reliant on flour processing, other ingredients are imported. 2

a)
Provide an introduction and an overview of your organisation, include the goals or
objectives.
Biscuits and soups are also exported.
Iconic products that Arnott’s are known for are Shapes, Vita-Weat, Salada, Jatz, Tiny Teddies, Tim Tam, Mint slice, Wagon Wheels and Teevee Snacks. So strong is the brand, that each year 669 million individual Tim Tam biscuits are eaten each year. Arnott’s exports many of its products to New Zealand, Asia, and Japan.
Arnott’s goal is to grow its business in Australia and expand its market share in Asia Pacific to become the leading regional consumer food business in the biscuit and snacks portfolio. To be the leader in innovation and to be the iconic Australian company.
The scope will cover the head office at North Strathfield and the factory site at Huntingwood, NSW. The head office employs 200 staff, and the factory site employs 500 staff. The factory manufacturing staff are on a shift pattern for 24 hour, 7 day cover of the operating lines. The Quality team work on a day shift.

Political
Technology
Arnott’s has had a fortunate sail on the political front. Consumers see Arnott’s as their iconic brand, and the Australian biscuit of choice. The only political issues that put pressure on Arnott’s is when new legislation is introduced for packaging. For
example, when the ‘made in Australia; content was to be included in on the packaging. This cost the business money in redesigning packaging, art-house styling, and photography costs, and then packaging write off costs. Quite often it is not seen that each time a new requirement is included on packaging, there isn’t the room for the information to be included.
Arnott’s has a list of countries that due to the political disturbance that are not to be sourced from. The manufacturing plant is run by software called SAP, this reorders materials, manages the recipes, and stock takes the finished goods. If the soft ware goes down, then the materials are not ordered for manufacturing. Not upgrading software, leads to unsupported
platforms, reduction in speeds and user engagement as the front end becomes less user friendly. Systems go down and disrupt the business.
A ten-year strategy is required for research and technology which includes true innovation and line extensions
Economic
Environmental factors The impacts on Australian dollar reduction
are that consumers will spend less money on the perceived luxury biscuits such as Tim Tam. However, during the pandemic sales of soups and savoury biscuits increased as these were cupboard goods to be stored.
The soups market is a shrinking market, it is seen that the market share should be sustained as it is not growing, and it is amore about protecting the brand from cannibalisation from competitors or own The weather has an impact on flour supply. The business must bulk buy its flour requirement for the year with an annual contract with its suppliers. Weather will impact the protein quality of flour, which in turns has an impact on the
biscuit texture. Flour needs to be controlled by a buying specification.
The pandemic caused some supply of ingredients from over seas not to be supplied. Some ingredients had to be flown over rather than by sea, which 4

Social issues
Legislation
A healthy lifestyle has increased the sales of salada, crackers and savoury biscuits as a replacement for bread for the more health conscious consumers. Rice cakes sell well as they are gluten free. Tim Tams
whilst known not to be healthy, as advocated as a treat to be enjoyed. The business has a goal to grow in the healthy
food segment. One big miss Arnott’s had was the breakfast biscuit, losing shelf space to Belvita. This was a lack of innovation, and not knowing our market.
Work, Health and Safety Act 2011. Everyone monitoring safety and reporting
Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Providing goods expected for the purpose. The products cannot be misleading

Any other factors
Private label competitors are a risk for Arnott’s. For example, Aldi have a strategy
or introducing branded goods into their stores, for example Tim Tam Original, they will then place their own private label cost next to the Tim Tam at half the retail price. Consumers move over to the Aldi equivalent, and then Aldi drop Arnott’s as a supplier. The consequence is that we have lost market share. Adverse weather conditions. Two years ago, during the winds, half the warehouse lost its roof, product was lost, and a cost was added for emergency warehousing.
Product recalls, this causes loss of brand
reputation, financial loss and bad publicity.

Task 2
Risk assessment
– Research the overall processes of risk management within your organisation, risk identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation of existing
practices and procedures.
At Arnott’s data is collected from various sources, and used as part of the strategy
for identifying and managing risks. Company Goal Safety
Safety is an important goal of the company, and is measured as a key KPI, with every employee and manager responsible.
Any slips, trips, falls and injuries are recorded and collated for analysis in a system called QUESIS. The analysis is reportable at board level and the company standard is no lost days from injury. Each site will have a notice board at its front entrance stating the number of days from the last reportable accident that caused lost days from works. All near misses are required to be reported. The health and safety team
meet monthly and review all the data, and risk assess the business to ensure it is meeting the legislative requirements.
Company Goal Customer Satisfaction
All feedback from customers whether it be by letter, email or telephone call is recorded on the CARES system. This collates all the feedback by product line and is an alert system if a particular line of biscuits or soups has a continual issue. This feedback is collated and used for future development purposes to design a product more to the customers liking which will follow through to increased market share.
Social media is closely monitored and all comments on the Arnott’s Facebook are responded to. However, Arnott’s, use social media more to create excitement about new products to be launched. Four years ago, Arnott’s rebranded and redesigned the Shapes products. New recipes were created for the biscuit base to create a crunchier texture, and the flavourings were updated. The noise on social media was never predicted, customers did not like the new Arnott’s Shapes. It was a categoric disaster for Arnott’s, after a $10million spend on development. Due to the loss of market share, and the customers being very vocal about the new flavours, a business decision was made to revert the recipes back to the original. A marketing campaign followed to say, we listed, we are sorry, the original shapes are back.
Goals, quality, market share, profits, growth goal – link the following to each goal to reduce risk, decline in sales
Company Goal Increase Market Share
All finished product is quality assured before leaving site, to ensure it meets expectations. All raw materials are bought on a specification with parameters for quality, microbiological, physical, and chemical attributes that must be met on receipt at goods inwards. This ensures consistency of product and maintain the reputation of the Arnott’s biscuits that it is made to the highest quality standard.

Customer Insights team interview consumers and organize taste panel work. This information is collated and used to develop the strategy of what flavours of biscuits or soups to develop in the future. This team also analyses emerging new products and food styles to the market. Last year is was botanicals, all this data is used to develop the strategy for innovation for future products.
Company Goal Increase Profitability
Each month sales reports, budgets and score cards are monitored to see where we are tracking, and are we achieving sales. At each team meeting, the score card will be referred to so that the whole business knows where we stand in profitability, and market share. When a new product is launched, sales are very closely monitored for
six months, and then a review will be made on whether this product will ‘stick’ in the market. If sales are falling, then the product will go on the ‘at risk’ register.
Products are categorized on their sales and growth. Underperforming products will be placed on the ‘at risk’ register. If the sales don’t improve, they will then move to
the discontinue list, and will be then delisted. When products are delisted, it is important for the business we don’t lose the shelf space in the supermarket to another competitor. The business must be ready with a new product to take up the shelf.
Company Goal Growth
For the company to grow, it needs to be working in the best way it can with stream-
lined processes. Customer satisfaction results must be collated and used in strategy planning. The world-wide markets must be reviewed an understood for emerging consumers patterns, trends and innovation. The strategy is developed to give the customer what they want before they realise it. Growing the company relies on a sound platform of IT systems. Any IT issues are now raised a ticket on as in incident ticket and graded as per the business impact severity. Trends can be reviewed; software upgrades need to be planned for and implemented with project management.
Company Goal Grow our People
The company also completes employee satisfaction results and will participate in a Great Place to Work, which is an external managed survey with industry results. Being in the top 10 of Great Places to work, allows the company to attract the most talented staff, which drives the overall strategy and growth of the business.

b)
Discuss if existing practices are in accordance with the Australian Risk Management
standards and processes.
Health and Safety
At each site there is a health and safety manager, which all qualified and trained to do their roles. The leadership team understand their obligations for WHS and measure KPIs. All slips and trips and near misses are recorded. A factory KPI is number of days from last day off caused by an accident. The processes are documented, and monthly meetings are held to review data. All risks are analysed and if can be are removed from the business or managed. Customer Care
All data is recorded for customer complaints, this data is used to measure if there have been changes in perception of product or for example contamination issues such as glass. Foreign body complaints can lead to loss of business. The business wants to ensure this risk is removed and customer satisfaction is achieved.
Manufacturing continuity
There is always a risk of broken supply. To remover the risk of lines going down, a preventative maintenance plan is place. Throughout the year on a schedule, parts of equipment are serviced. Each time a lie goes down at Arnott’s, it costs the business $30K per hour, for loss of revenue, overhead costs etc. Last week SAP went down in all the factories as part of the divergence from the US system when it was Campbells. All factories stopped production, this has been catastrophic for the business, and it was down to soft ware separation from a previous parent company. Manufacturing meetings are held weekly, minuted, and actions plans developed to ensure business continuity
The above are examples of where risks have been identified, a risk analysis has been completed, and the risk evaluated. All the above are monitored in meetings and reported to the leadership team
Every month each department has a townhall, where KPIs are delivered. The KPIs for health and safety and sales data are delivered by presentation by the senior manager of the department.
Every project that is completed for new product development of IT upgrades have a
close off meeting with a team meeting to communicate how the project went, were there any issues. A lesson’s learned log is documented and held in the project 8

b)
Describe how the relevant stakeholders will be involved in the processes to identify risks.
It is important to involve the stakeholders in identifying risks, as they will have multiple perspectives on what can cause a risk, they will have knowledge of effective risk controls, resolution strategies and how to actively monitor. Ultimately risk management should become embedded in the day to day running of any organisation.
The stakeholders should be engaged from the beginning. A kick-off meeting should be held
to discuss the risk management and program development, how it will be planned, who is organising and how it will be documented. The stakeholders will then need to be proactive in the risk analysis, and either bring in SMEs who can identify the risk, how the risk can be
measured and evaluate the risk. By engaging with stakeholders early in the process, they can then offer solutions to the risks and how it will be managed. By the stakeholders owning the solutions, they can them implement them through their teams and colleagues. It
should be explained that risk is a dynamic approach. Case studies can be used to illustrate on what happens when risk isn’t managed. An example would be in the canning plant, where the retort process wasn’t managed, and people lost their lives from botulinum poisoning from canned salmon in the US. Risk costs businesses money.
c)
Conduct a SWOT analysis of your organisation to identify risk factors, ensure that a wide range of risks are identified from different business functions. List your factors in the following SWOT table.
Strengths
Weaknesses

Secure warehousing for storing product and quarantine when necessary
Manufacturing sites with lines that meet sales volumes demand
Highly skilled staff
Reputation as a trusted brand for authenticity
Successful marketing campaigns with TV advertising
Financially strong from parent company KKR investment
e.g. Bureaucratic style of management
Hiarchical style of management
Manufacturing sites leased with rents increasing
Poor pure innovation, mainly line extensions of existing brands ie flavour extensions of Tim Tim
Existing sweet and chocolate biscuits seen as unhealthy
Staff leaving recently to redundancies
Missed innovation for example breakfast biscuits
WHS on site accidents in the factory or line operating incidents
IT instability, with software sitting on aged

Task 7
Ongoing monitoring and review for the organisations risk management
Continual monitoring and reviewing of risks for the organisation is essential to maintain the effectiveness of managing existing risks identified and to identify potential new risks for your organisation. (This task is for the overall continual risk management for your organisation).
a)
Discuss and evaluate the process to communicate and implement the risk management plans for ongoing monitoring, consultation and communication of the risk management process.
A risk assessment plan is necessary to ensure that risk management is embedded in the business. It should be a day to day task, not an additional task to do. Sound risk management principles and practices are part of normal Arnott’s operations and are embedded in all departments. In particular, the company is committed to ensuring that communication and consultation is transparent and ongoing throughout the organisation.
Arnott’s follow the following process:
the risk management framework (Risk management plan and supporting documents, policies and procedures) as well as any modifications to the framework are communicated regularly and effectively
Arnott’s undertake internal reporting on the framework and how it is working within the organisational operating context, these reported at meetings and at board level
It is always ensured that there is a sufficient and varied opportunities for discussion and collaboration around risk management internally. Meetings are an open forum, and this style of meeting is encouraged.
all risk management information is available at all times to all employees in an easy and efficient medium on the HR intranet website
All external reporting complies with relevant legal, regulatory and governance requirements
Arnott’s engage and seek advice from external stakeholders on risk management and risk activities.

b)
What digital technologies, systems or processes within your organisation are available to store the risk management plan in an appropriate manner?
The risk documents are kept on folders on the company S Drive, a naming convention is followed to ensure that there is a file structure inside each folder. The company take a back up nightly on the server. Policies are all held on the company HR intranet for all employees to view. These records are vital for a business to prove compliance, and avoid potential penalties and fees. For example, lack of financial records can lead to a fine for end of year accounts sign off.
Records should be traceable, version controlled and managed by the risk assessor. They should
always be up to date.
c)
What are your recommendations to ensure the risk management plan is documented and kept up to date, how will your organisation ensure the ongoing monitoring of the plan is discussed and evaluated to identify potential new risks in the future?
My recommendations are to follow this following diagram

Business need to recognise the benefits of risk management
Risk management will support business in being able to meet corporate values
and deliver the business objectives and goals. Application of a consistent and comprehensive risk management process will:
increase the likelihood of achieving strategic and business objectives
encourage a high standard of accountability at all levels in the organisation
support more effective decision making, through better understanding of risk exposures
create an environment that enables the business to deliver timely services and meet performance objectives in an efficient and cost effective manner
safeguard the business assets – human resources, physical resources and reputation
meet compliance and governance requirements.
There needs to be roles and responsibilities as follows
A business’s ability to conduct effective risk management is dependent upon having an appropriate risk governance structure and well-defined roles and responsibilities.
It is important for everyone to be aware of their own individual and collective risk management responsibilities. In order for risks to be effectively managed it is essential to have people behaving in a way that is consistent with the organisation’s approved approach. This indicates that risk management is not merely about having a well-defined process but also about effecting the behavioural change necessary for risk management to be embedded in all organisational activities.
Set out below is a generic management governance structure. This structure illustrates that risk management is not the sole responsibility of one individual but rather occurs and is supported at all organisational levels.
