Graphite, Anode & Battery Materials Processing worked example

Supplier Risk with supplier issue severity score of 4 score: a worked example in graphite, anode & battery materials processing

Suppose supplier issue severity 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 supplier risk for graphite feedstock, coating precursors, binders, conductive additives, silicon-carbon materials, or toll processors using severity, occurrence, and detection scores.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Supplier issue severity score: 4 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 8)
  • Supplier issue occurrence score: 5 score (held at the documented default)
  • Incoming-control detection score: 4 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Supplier risk score = supplier issue severity score × supplier issue occurrence score × incoming-control detection score.
  • Supplier risk score works out to 4.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Supplier issue severity score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Supplier issue occurrence score works out to 5 score at these inputs.
  • Incoming-control detection score works out to 4 score at these inputs.

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 26.89% below the baseline at 4.35 score.
  • It computes a supplier risk priority score by combining how severe a supplier issue would be, how likely it is to occur, and how likely incoming control is to detect it before use. 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.
