1.0 Introduction
According to AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009, risk management consists of 6 components which are
Resource risk generally refers to people, outsourcing and money. Here, the main resource risk for Woolworths is from its supplier, which means the natural disaster could ruin crops and then finally impact its product provided. A detailed analysis for those risks would be covered in Risk Evaluation part.

4.0 Risks analysis
After the classification of risks, the next stage is to analyze each of them. Based on HB 4360:2004, risk analysis is about providing a mechanism to decide whether these risks need to be treated and relevant cost-effective treatment strategies. Also, based on AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009, risk analysis needs to consider the source and cause of risks, their optimistic and pessimistic consequences and the likelihood of consequence occurrence. This report will use qualitative method, a risk matrix, to illustrate the level of potential results and the likelihood of the consequences.
Table 2 and 3 provide the detailed explanation for each level of likelihood and consequence respectively.

Table 2—Likelihood Scale

Table 3—Consequence Scale

Table 4 outlines a risk matrix which could be used to measure the magnitude of risks.

Table 4—Project Risk Matrix

After deciding the magnitude of risks based on Table 4, a risk treatment key (Table 5) is then important because it could provide different appropriate actions on different level of risks. For
