What is Quantitative Risk Analysis?
Quantitative Risk Analysis is a rigorous and comprehensive method of assessing risk. It uses verifiable data to make a numerical prediction of an event’s likelihood and the severity of its impact. Compared to a Qualitative Risk Analysis, which ranks likelihood and consequence on a graduated scale (e.g. minor, major or critical consequence or an unlikely, likely, probable likelihood) to determine the risk ranking, a Quantitative Risk Analysis assigns a numeric value to probability and consequence to calculate a numeric risk value. Common quantitative risk analyses include Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA), Probable Loss of Life (PLL) and Cost-Benefit Analysis.
Why Do a Quantitative Risk Analysis?
One of the most important decisions a company makes is how and where to deploy resources to minimize negative outcomes. Quantitative Risk Analysis allows an organization to engage in risk-informed strategic decision making to avoid negative outcomes and maximize business success. In short, Quantitative Risk Analysis can help:
- Increase decision making confidence
- Accelerate risk management awareness and maturity
- Optimize operations and maintenance resource efficiency
- Drive systematic, continuous improvements of control performance
