The identification and mitigation of risks in cosmetology projects from the perspective of the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency

Abstract

The growing number of companies in the cosmetics industry and the demand for new products contribute to new product designs. Companies should include the definitions of the regulatory agency in their projects to avoid fines or delays, which can directly impact the success of the projects. The present study, which is qualitative in nature, used the exploratory bibliographic methodology. The objectives were to identify the risks of projects found in cosmetic companies from ANVISA's records, and to propose mitigations of the risks identified in the light of PMBoK. Eight risks were identified and 13 mitigations suggested. The contribution of the research is to help managers to include the risks and mitigations presented in their projects of the cosmetics sector.
