Abstract
Before starting this report, I think it's important to state what risk management exactly is. Indeed, risk management's purpose is to help others create their desired variation from their desired outcome at their desired times. I then decided to analyze risk management in the Alstom transport company, who decided to implement their new manufacturing platform in Poland. This represents many risks such as financial, contractual or even quality risks. Alstom Transport has chosen to make its Polish site to become the future's most important manufacturing platform in Europe, and the main risks are to deliver the train later than expected (delay in deliveries) and to have quality problems, as it's the first time that a project is entirely done in Poland. This transfer to Poland has implied some important human means, such as the sending of employees to Poland in order to train the polish employees, some intensive trainings for the French as well as for the Polish. In this report, I will show that it's very hard, even for a multinational company, to remain competitive, and sometimes companies take many risks in order to remain on top.
