This work identifies and sees the opportunity to use risk management in the supply chain segment devoted to the maintenance of electronic equipment for flight protection, applied to air traffic control. The research suggests a methodology for risk management described in the proposal of a standard that seeks to stimulate a pro-active one, increase assertiveness in the achievement of objectives, provide greater certainty in decision making, gain more confidence by stakeholders in the business, expand the resilience of the organization and eventually incorporate it into the existing management process. The search for more efficient and faster processes to meet the demand for maintenance is strongly supported by purchases of services and supplies. So having a structured process of procurement is vital to the integrity of the business because it will contribute to ensure the technical availability of equipment and systems. Being aware that risks are inherent in any business, timely identifying them is certainly a way to anticipate the visibility of future uncertainties. They will reveal both opportunities and threats which may lead to the establishment of catalyst strategies for opportunities and protection against threats. Ignoring them is not a good strategy because they will remain dormant and may cause random future surprises. It is then necessary to manage risk appropriately, in the most adherent possible way with organizational culture and aligned to the organization s mission in order to safeguard the strategic planning, making it a powerful tool for highpenetration processes along the supply chain.
