Prepreg Out Time Risk with out-time defect severity rating of 20 score: a worked example
Push out-time defect severity rating up to 20 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. prioritizing controls for prepreg out-time exposure
The inputs for this scenario
- Out-time defect severity rating: 20 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8)
- Out-time exposure occurrence rating: 3 score (unchanged)
- Out-time detection difficulty rating: 5 score (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Prepreg Out Time Risk = out-time severity score × out-time occurrence score × out-time detection difficulty score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 10.3 score for prepreg out time risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 20 score for out-time severity score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for out-time occurrence score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for out-time detection difficulty score.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where out-time defect severity rating sits at 8 score and the headline result is 5.5 score, this scenario comes in 87.27% above the baseline at 10.3 score.
- It multiplies the severity, occurrence and detection ratings for prepreg out-time into a single FMEA-style risk priority score. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
