SRM

SRM is an acronym that can refer to several terms across different domains. The meaning depends on the context, and the same letters are used in fields ranging from risk management to technology and climate science.

Safety Risk Management (SRM) refers to a systematic process used to identify, assess, and mitigate safety risks in operations. It is applied in industries such as aviation, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing, and is often part of broader safety management systems. The process typically includes hazard identification, risk assessment, mitigation planning, and ongoing monitoring to reduce the likelihood and impact of accidents or incidents.

Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) is a business discipline and software category focused on managing an organization’s interactions with suppliers. It seeks to optimize procurement, supplier performance, and collaboration through activities such as supplier segmentation, contract management, performance metrics, and risk assessment, usually within a broader enterprise resource planning framework.

Storage Resource Management (SRM) denotes tools and practices for overseeing data storage infrastructure. It covers capacity planning, data tiering, migration, performance monitoring, and retention policies to ensure efficient use of storage resources and reliable access to data across systems.

Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is a class of geoengineering concepts aimed at reflecting a portion of incoming solar radiation to offset some effects of climate change. Proposed approaches include stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening. SRM remains controversial due to governance, environmental risks, and ethical considerations, and it is largely theoretical at this stage.

SRM is also the name of a German company known for manufacturing cycling power meters and related electronics, widely used by professional teams and serious enthusiasts. The acronym thus appears in both industrial and sport contexts, reflecting its multiple, unrelated meanings.
