Control Board Inspection Bottleneck Score Calculator with inspection delay or escape impact of 18 score: a worked example

Push inspection delay or escape impact up to 18 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a quality or production manager needs to rank inspection constraints in appliance electronics manufacturing

The inputs for this scenario

  • Inspection delay or escape impact: 18 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 7)
  • Inspection queue or defect frequency: 6 score (unchanged)
  • Detection or control weakness: 5 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Inspection bottleneck risk score = inspection delay or escape impact × inspection queue or defect frequency × detection or control weakness) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10.55 score for inspection bottleneck risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 score for inspection delay or escape impact.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 6 score for inspection queue or defect frequency.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for detection or control weakness.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where inspection delay or escape impact sits at 7 score and the headline result is 6.15 score, this scenario comes in 71.54% above the baseline at 10.55 score.
  • It computes an inspection bottleneck risk score as the geometric-mean-scaled product of impact, frequency, and detection weakness for a control board inspection point. 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

  • Inspection bottleneck risk score: 10.55 score (headline result)
  • Inspection delay or escape impact: 18 score
  • Inspection queue or defect frequency: 6 score
