Thermal Network Supplier Risk Score with supplier impact severity score of 3 score: a worked example

This worked example runs the thermal network supplier risk score numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: supplier impact severity score of 3 score instead of the typical 6 score. Score supplier risk for boilers, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, meters, controls, pipe, insulation, and thermal storage packages before procurement or bid release.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Supplier impact severity score: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Supplier issue occurrence score: 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Supplier detection control score: 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Thermal network supplier risk score = supplier impact severity score × supplier issue occurrence score × supplier detection control score.
  • Thermal network supplier risk score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Supplier impact severity score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
  • Supplier issue occurrence score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Supplier detection control score works out to 3 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where supplier impact severity score sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
  • Use it during supplier qualification, annual vendor reviews, or when deciding which thermal network components need a second source or tighter incoming inspection. 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.

Results at a glance
