Cell Therapy Supplier Risk Score with supplier issue impact severity of 4.5 score: a worked example
This worked example runs the cell therapy supplier risk score numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: supplier issue impact severity of 4.5 score instead of the typical 9 score. Score supplier risk for single-use assemblies, media, vectors, reagents, cryostorage equipment, or critical GMP services.
The inputs for this scenario
- Supplier issue impact severity: 4.5 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 9)
- Supplier issue occurrence likelihood: 5 score (held at the documented default)
- Incoming control detectability: 6 score (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Supplier risk score = impact severity × 0.40 + occurrence likelihood × 0.35 + incoming control detectability × 0.25.
- Supplier risk score works out to 5.05 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Supplier issue impact severity works out to 4.5 score at these inputs.
- Supplier issue occurrence likelihood works out to 5 score at these inputs.
- Incoming control detectability works out to 6 score at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where supplier issue impact severity sits at 9 score and the headline result is 6.85 score, this scenario comes in 26.28% below the baseline at 5.05 score.
- Use it to rank media, single-use kit, vector, equipment, and service suppliers on one scale for audit and qualification prioritization. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
