Abstract This study investigates the operational risk assessment of industrial enterprises in the Dung Quat Economic Zone, Vietnam, applying the Analytic Network Process (ANP) to prioritize critical risk factors affecting production and sustainability. We analyzed the influence of process, human-related, environmental, management, and supply chain risks on the overall operational stability of the enterprises. Expert judgments from 25 industry specialists were collected to construct pairwise comparison matrices, forming a comprehensive network of risk interdependencies. The results reveal that equipment failures, production interruptions, and poor quality control are the most significant risks impacting operational continuity. Additionally, managerial and human factors such as safety violations and ineffective maintenance planning were identified as crucial contributors. The study highlights the need for integrated risk management approaches addressing technical, organizational, and environmental dimensions to enhance industrial resilience. This research contributes to the understanding of risk prioritization in emerging industrial zones and offers practical insights for risk mitigation strategies to promote sustainable industrial development in Vietnam.
