Compliance Documentation Risk Score with documentation failure impact severity of 18 score: a worked example

Push documentation failure impact severity up to 18 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a compliance manager needs to prioritize documentation review for a lot, supplier package, or shipment

The inputs for this scenario

  • Documentation failure impact severity: 18 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 7)
  • Documentation issue occurrence likelihood: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Detection or control weakness score: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Lot-level planning risk score = documentation impact severity × occurrence likelihood × detection or control weakness score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 9.35 risk score for lot-level planning risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 score for manufacturing impact severity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for expected occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for detection or control score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where documentation failure impact severity sits at 7 score and the headline result is 4.95 risk score, this scenario comes in 88.89% above the baseline at 9.35 risk score.
  • It multiplies documentation impact severity, occurrence likelihood, and detection or control weakness into a single prioritization score for compliance recordkeeping risk. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Lot-level planning risk score: 9.35 risk score (headline result)
  • Manufacturing impact severity: 18 score
  • Expected occurrence score: 4 score
  • Detection or control score: 3 score
