Risk Analysis
Risk analysis is the process of identifying potential problems or hazards, assessing their likelihood and potential impact, and determining appropriate actions to mitigate or manage them. It helps prioritize risks and plan responses.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Risk Analysis, a fundamental component of quality and safety management in Industry 5.0, is the systematic process of identifying potential hazards, evaluating the probability and severity of associated risks, and determining their impact on product quality, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
BACKGROUND
