Gauge Repeatability Score with repeatability impact score of 4 score: a worked example

Suppose repeatability impact score falls to 4 score. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Rank risk from poor gauge repeatability, operator variation, part location variation, or inspection fixture instability.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Repeatability impact (severity) score: 4 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 8)
  • Repeatability error occurrence score: 5 score (held at the documented default)
  • Detection-control weakness score: 4 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gauge Repeatability Score score = repeatability impact score × repeatability occurrence score × detection-control weakness score.
  • Gauge Repeatability Score score works out to 4.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Repeatability impact score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Repeatability occurrence score works out to 5 score at these inputs.
  • Detection-control weakness score works out to 4 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where repeatability impact score 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.
  • It computes a single prioritization score by multiplying a gauge's repeatability impact, occurrence and detection-weakness ratings together. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Gauge Repeatability Score score: 4.35 score (headline result)
