Manufacturing Risk Management

Comprehensive risk management strategies to strengthen resilience, safety and continuity across manufacturing operations.

Resilient operations through risk management

The manufacturing sector operates in an environment of constant change and complexity. From cyberattacks and supply chain disruptions to workforce safety and natural hazards, manufacturers must balance productivity with resilience every day. Even a single disruption, whether a machine breakdown or a logistics delay, can ripple across production lines and impact revenue.

At Zurich Resilience Solutions, we help manufacturing organizations identify vulnerabilities and develop tailored strategies to manage operational, technological and environmental risks. Our experts combine industry insights with data-driven analysis to reduce the likelihood of loss and improve business continuity.

According to the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2025, manufacturing has remained the most targeted industry by cybercriminals for the past four years¹. Meanwhile, Economist Impact found that 99% of executives say their supply chain has been affected by natural hazards². As the sector faces growing pressure to meet demand safely and sustainably, a structured risk management program has never been more essential.

Our approach centers on understanding your unique production environment. Whether you’re operating a single facility or managing a global footprint, we provide customized assessments and mitigation strategies to enhance resilience, protect assets and safeguard profitability.
