 Abstract

Aim of this paper is to provide a framework, able to identify and aid the assessment of risks on specific systems' structures. A company (provider) develops the aforementioned systems for a client. Risk management is considered as a key tool for decision making in the early and most critical phase of this development, namely the bidding phase. The goal is a method for the use of Risk Management as an integrative decision factor during the determination of the most appropriate system among all the possible ones, for each specific bid. The paper is illustrated by a Case Study for the development and installation of a Production Planning and Control System, which presents the approach and the benefits stemmed from the method.
