What scale should I use?

Use your internal 1-5 or 1-10 FMEA or supplier risk scale and keep it consistent across all comparisons.

Does a high detection score mean good controls?

In typical FMEA scoring, a higher detection score means weaker detection. Match the calculator to your team's scale.

Should delivery and quality risks be scored together?

Score separate failure modes when the impact, occurrence, or controls differ materially.

How can I use the result?

Use it to focus audits, add incoming checks, require corrective action, or qualify alternate suppliers.

Supplier Risk Score Calculator

Supplier risk scoring helps teams compare risks across frames, forks, brakes, motors, batteries, controllers, chargers, tires, and electronics suppliers. Procurement and quality teams use this FMEA-style score to decide where to add inspections, dual-source parts, improve detection, or escalate supplier corrective action.

What this calculator does

Score bicycle, e-bike, scooter, or component supplier risk using severity, occurrence, and detection ratings from quality and supply data.
a micromobility procurement or quality team needs to rank supplier risks before launch, ramp, or corrective action
Returns a comparative risk priority score for one supplier issue or component failure mode.

Formula used

Supplier risk priority score = supplier issue severity score × supplier issue occurrence score × supplier issue detection score
Use the same severity, occurrence, and detection scale across comparable suppliers and components.

Inputs explained

Supplier issue severity score: Score impact on rider safety, compliance, production stoppage, fleet downtime, warranty cost, or customer experience.
Supplier issue occurrence score: Score likelihood using defect history, late deliveries, audit findings, field failures, or process capability data.
Supplier issue detection score: Score how likely incoming inspection, end-of-line test, supplier controls, or fleet diagnostics are to catch the issue.

How to use the result

Use it for supplier audits, launch readiness, incoming inspection planning, dual-source decisions, and corrective action prioritization.
The score is only as consistent as the rating scale; safety, legal, and compliance risks may require escalation regardless of numeric rank.
