Another area where the risk management discipline has developed in recent times is the approach that is referred to as enterprise or enterprise-wide risk management (ERM).Risks to the continuous supply will include unavailability of 
ingredients, disruption to manufacturing activities, contamination of the product, breakdown 
in supply transportation arrangements and disruption to distribution.This will involve 
analysis of the supply chain, evaluation of manufacturing activities and analysis of the delivery 
arrangements.This enterprise-wide approach has considerable advantages, because it analyses the potential 
for disruption to the overall stakeholder expectation.Health and safety, for example, is then 
viewed as a component in ensuring that staff are always available so that the overall process 
will not be disrupted, rather than (or perhaps as well as) a separate hazard management 
issue.A good example of the ERM approach is the pharmaceutica industry.
