Mix Ratio Error Risk with off-ratio cure severity of 23 1-10: a worked example
What does the result look like when off-ratio cure severity reaches 23 1-10? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. a process engineer needs to assess risk before approving a two-part adhesive mixing method
The inputs for this scenario
- Off-ratio cure severity: 23 1-10 (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 9)
- Mix error occurrence likelihood: 4 1-10 (unchanged)
- Detection weakness: 7 1-10 (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Mix ratio error risk score = severity score × occurrence score × detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 12.35 score for mix ratio error risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 23 1-10 for off-ratio cure severity.
- At this operating point the engine returns 4 1-10 for mix error occurrence.
- At this operating point the engine returns 7 1-10 for detection weakness.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where off-ratio cure severity sits at 9 1-10 and the headline result is 6.75 score, this scenario comes in 82.96% above the baseline at 12.35 score.
- A figure at this level is achievable when off-ratio cure severity is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. The score is ordinal, not linear: a 6.75 is not literally three times worse than a 2.25, so use it to rank and trigger review, not as an absolute probability.
