Supplier Risk with supplier impact severity of 4 score: a worked example in commercial kitchen equipment

This worked example runs the supplier risk numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: supplier impact severity of 4 score instead of the typical 8 score. Score supplier risk for commercial kitchen equipment components using impact, likelihood, and detection strength.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Supplier impact severity (1-10): 4 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 8)
  • Supplier issue likelihood (1-10): 5 score (held at the documented default)
  • Incoming inspection detection weakness (1-10): 4 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Supplier Risk = supplier impact severity × supplier issue likelihood × incoming detection weakness.
  • supplier risk works out to 4.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • supplier impact severity works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • supplier issue likelihood works out to 5 score at these inputs.
  • incoming detection weakness works out to 4 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where supplier impact severity sits at 8 score and the headline result is 5.95 score, this scenario comes in 26.89% below the baseline at 4.35 score.
  • Use it during supplier qualification, annual vendor scorecards, or whenever you are deciding which incoming lots need full inspection versus skip-lot. 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.
