Calibration Lab & Gauge Management worked example

Calibration Audit Readiness with audit finding severity score of 15 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the calibration audit readiness calculation on the strong side: audit finding severity score of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when calibration audit readiness in calibration lab and gauge management needs a defensible ranking against other calibration lab and gauge management risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Audit finding severity score: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Audit issue occurrence score: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Pre-audit detection score: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Calibration audit readiness risk score = severity score × 0.40 + occurrence score × 0.35 + detection score × 0.25) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for calibration audit readiness risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for audit finding severity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for audit issue occurrence.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for pre-audit detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where audit finding severity score sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • Use it when prepping for a calibration system audit and you need to prioritize which gaps to close first. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance
