# Enterprise Risk Planning

Discover how manufacturers can build operational and business resilience through risk mitigation, digital continuity and virtual twin technology.

According to a recent study, 77% of businesses consider that it is now more difficult to [detect and manage risks](https://www.accenture.com/us-en/insights/consulting/global-risk-compliance), and industrial equipment organizations are no exception; they face increasingly complex risks that make it challenging for them to adapt and thrive.

Along with **market volatility**, global supply chain disruptions, regulations and labor shortages, manufacturers must contend with rapidly evolving environmental, social and **governance** (ESG) requirements, climate events, geopolitical and trade tensions, emerging technologies and **cybersecurity** breaches.

Risks have also become more interconnected, making them more complicated to mitigate. What used to be minor risks can exacerbate other risks and pose serious threats that reach far beyond individual companies.

## (IE) A New Era for Enterprise Risk Planning

To manage risks while ensuring **business continuity**, industrial equipment manufacturers must adopt a holistic approach to **enterprise risk planning** and management to analyze, anticipate and mitigate risks across the entire product lifecycle and [supply chain](/manufacturing/trends/supply-chain-risk "Increased Awareness Of Supply Chain Risk").

Rethinking enterprise risk planning is not just about using advanced **risk analytics** tools; it’s also about creating an effective **risk culture** that includes every stakeholder and embeds risk planning at all levels of development.

Companies that adopt and promote **proactive risk strategies** throughout their value network are more likely to successfully overcome crises and set themselves apart from competitors who struggle to keep up. Being able to swiftly adapt and respond to shifts in market demands and consumer habits while achieving **regulatory compliance** results in more than resilience – it enables manufacturers to transform their business and grow.

 Our market is evolving rapidly. We must differentiate ourselves by providing high quality, high-performing and compliant solutions as well as maintenance and service capabilities… We believe we can do this with the Dassault Systèmes technology.

## (IE) Integrating Sustainability Into Enterprise Risk Planning and Management

Effectively addressing rising environmental regulations and customer demands for higher [sustainability](https://discover.3ds.com/sustainability-manufacturing-operations-management) throughout the manufacturing lifecycle is crucial for industrial equipment manufacturers to remain competitive and drive business growth.

From design to production processes, operations, and product use, maintenance and end-of-life, **enterprise risk planning** makes it possible for manufacturers to minimize waste and carbon emissions by improving resource allocation, energy efficiency and material reuse. Other improvements include optimizing machine durability and lifetime, which reduces needs for maintenance and spare parts.

Embracing **risk planning and management frameworks** enables manufacturers to limit environmental impact across their supply chain. Using predictive analytics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to accurately forecast and monitor needs empowers them to implement sustainable practices while supporting long-term operational efficiency and **organizational resilience** in the face of uncertainty.
