SKU Option Complexity Score with option mix severity score of 3 score: a worked example

This worked example runs the sku option complexity score numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: option mix severity score of 3 score instead of the typical 6 score. Score complexity risk from door sizes, handings, swings, fire ratings, finishes, frame depths, lock functions, keyways, readers, and hardware-set variations.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Option mix severity score (1-10): 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Option mix occurrence score (1-10): 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Configuration detection score (1-10): 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: SKU option complexity score = option mix impact severity score × option mix occurrence score × configuration detection control score.
  • SKU option complexity score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Option mix impact severity score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
  • Option mix occurrence score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Configuration detection control score works out to 3 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where option mix 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 when triaging which configurable option combinations to rationalize, add configurator guard-rails to, or pull from the catalog before they cause mis-builds. 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

  • SKU option complexity score: 3.35 score (headline result)
