Project Overview

Electrolux has a process in place, through the Blue Risk Management for all facilities to estimate potential financial impacts in case of disruption of production. If a relative important site in the US, in a risk area, must stop production due to i.e. flooding, for 5 days during a year, the financial impact would be approximately MSEK 65 in lost sales.
