  • 1.3. Beneficial interactions are assessed and any potential additional benefits are identified for further improvements to the systems efficiency.
  • 1.4. Detrimental interactions are assessed and the production system is adjusted to minimise potential losses.
  • 1.5. Information on available innovations for potential use in the organisation is accessed and discussed with colleagues and integrated with operational plans.
2. Develop and implement risk management strategies
