Control Board Inspection Bottleneck Score Calculator with inspection delay or escape impact of 3.5 score: a worked example

Suppose inspection delay or escape impact falls to 3.5 score. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Score inspection bottleneck risk from inspection delay impact, defect or queue frequency, and detection/control weakness.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Inspection delay or escape impact: 3.5 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 7)
  • Inspection queue or defect frequency: 6 score (held at the documented default)
  • Detection or control weakness: 5 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Inspection bottleneck risk score = inspection delay or escape impact × inspection queue or defect frequency × detection or control weakness.
  • Inspection bottleneck risk score works out to 4.75 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Inspection delay or escape impact works out to 3.5 score at these inputs.
  • Inspection queue or defect frequency works out to 6 score at these inputs.
  • Detection or control weakness works out to 5 score at these inputs.

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 22.76% below the baseline at 4.75 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. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Inspection bottleneck risk score: 4.75 score (headline result)
  • Inspection delay or escape impact: 3.5 score
  • Inspection queue or defect frequency: 6 score
  • Detection or control weakness: 5 score

Run it with your numbers
