susceptibility of components to that event. Assessments are all
completed on a qualitative scale.

Element 4: Identification and Prioritization of Keystone
Vulnerabilities.
Information from the vulnerability assessments is
then plotted onto Vulnerability Matrices that allow the organization to
visualize those components that present the greatest threat in a crisis.
Matrices are produced from an all-hazards perspective (using only
criticality and preparedness information) and from a hazard specific
perspective (using criticality, preparedness and susceptibility data).

Element 5: Identification and Prioritization of Keystone
Vulnerabilities.
The tool used in this part of the process is the
Readiness Exercises and Disaster Simulations (REDS). REDS offer a
way for organizations to practice and test their crisis preparedness,
leadership skills, decision making and communication skills in a time
and resource efficient way. Desktop REDS can be completed in a
matter of two hours and can be scaled to include only a small group of
key decision makers through to the entire organization. They can also
extend to include key external partners via a multi-organizational
approach.
3.7.2. Organization of Management Knowledge
Management knowledge comprise following elements [3]: Commercial
knowledge management:, Quality knowledge management; Health and safety
knowledge management: and Environment knowledge management. Each of
these elements are defined with respective criteria and corresponding
indicators.
The commercial knowledge is a specific action to be performed in order to
reach appropriate commercialization of the product. It includes market
assessment, market promotion and product pricing policy. The verification of
this knowledge is obtained by the assessment of specific procedure including:
unit cost, increase in the sale, and profit. The adaption procedure is the
commercial knowledge which is the element of the management knowledge.
The quality knowledge is the methodology for the assessment and
validation of the object production. It comprise: reject in, reject out, late
delivery and complains. In every production process these knowledge is the
verification of the product quality. The quality knowledge is explicit
