In addition, for both case study projects, the RFMEA technique reduced the number of critical project risks (that remain after their treatment plans have been acted upon) to zero compared to four using The Company’s original method. This means that under the original method, the risk management team is required to spend a considerable amount of effort in closely monitoring the four critical risks that remain intact. On the contrary, if the RFMEA technique is applied, the amount of effort is reduced dramatically. The benefit of using the RFMEA technique is that any additional effort spent on risk management (under the original method) can be reallocated elsewhere on the project to increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
