RAM provides analysis for realistic project outcomes by identifying project risks, weaknesses, and corrective solutions. We model a project from construction through operations using Monte Carlo simulation techniques and mutually derived assumptions to provide a 5 year Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Instead of estimating an outcome’s specific value, we model inputs and use Monte Carlo simulation. Instead of calculating a number, we simulate results to get results with confidence intervals and probability. Time is money. RAM’s use of @RISK and RISKOptimizer gives you both! |

It has been deployed globally in a large industrial company with more than $20B in annual sales, operating in more than 80 countries. The @RISK based model and risk process are now mandatory for all capital projects larger than $1M. Independent cost and schedule risks and opportunities are modeled using a classical risk register approach. A risk adjusted ROI is calculated for each capital project showing the net impact of all cost and schedule risks and opportunities. An approximation of the impact of each risk and opportunity is calculated and presented in an innovative graphical format. The risk tool information is used by company experts during internal reviews to shape and optimize projects. The tool ensures comparisons between competing projects from different regions and business units are factual and objective. Company executives are now using the risk tool results to strengthen the decision making process and optimize the capital project portfolio.
