Supplier Risk with supplier issue severity score of 20 score: a worked example in gaming & entertainment hardware

Push supplier issue severity score up to 20 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when procurement, quality, and engineering need a consistent severity-occurrence-detection score for supplier defects, shortages, long lead times, counterfeit risk, obsolete parts, or weak incoming controls.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Supplier issue severity score: 20 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8)
  • Supplier issue occurrence score: 5 score (unchanged)
  • Supplier issue detection score: 4 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Supplier risk score = supplier issue severity score × supplier issue occurrence score × supplier issue detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10.75 score for supplier risk risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 20 score for supplier issue severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for supplier issue occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for supplier issue detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where supplier issue severity score sits at 8 score and the headline result is 5.95 score, this scenario comes in 80.67% above the baseline at 10.75 score.
  • It multiplies severity, occurrence, and detection scores into a single supplier risk priority number for ranking and triage. 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.
