Synopsis

Risk analysis and management for projects (RAMP) is a process that has been developed by a joint working party of the Institutionof Civil Engineers, the faculty and the Institute of Actuaries for the purpose of evaluating and controlling risk in major projects. Ramp demonstrates how to identify analyse and mitigate risks and how to place financial values on them.This practical handbook details a rigorous approach to risk management that can be applied to all types and stages of investments. It provides a method to enable a structured and consistent analysis of the financial implications of risk within (and between) projects to be carried out effectively. It can be applied either at a strategic level or as a detailed analytical and control process. The Ramp process aims to achieve as much certainty as possible about a long-term and uncertain future. Risk analysis and management for projects will be of use to everyone who is concerned with the financial, commerical, legal or engineeering aspects of major projects and ongoing activities of any kind.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

RAMP is a structured process for evaluating and controlling risk in major projects and this practical, working handbook is for everyone involved in the financial, commercial, legal or engineering aspects of a project. Providing a framework for identifying, analysing and responding to risks and then placing a financial value on them, the RAMP process covers the whole life of the asset involved, including post-completion reviews and methods for controlling any risks that remain, to increase the chances of overall project success. The third edition has been substantially revised to take account of clearer ways of presenting risk to decision-makers through simple scenarios, simpler criteria for determining whether risk responses should be adopted, the latest thinking about the management of uncertainty with a new chapter on this topic and a new chapter on social and environmental responsibility and the methods for coping with these risks in infrastructure projects. There is also a new executive summary with references to more detailed guidance within the guide. Contents: 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction 3. The management of uncertainty 4.
