The inputs for this scenario

  • Supplier disruption impact score: 18 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 7)
  • Supplier issue occurrence score: 5 score (unchanged)
  • Supply risk detection weakness score: 4 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Supplier Risk risk score = supplier disruption impact score × supplier issue occurrence score × supply risk detection weakness score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 9.95 score for supplier risk risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 score for supplier disruption impact score.
