Inspection Bottleneck with inspection bottleneck severity rating of 4 score: a worked example in implantable electronics & neurodevices

This worked example runs the inspection bottleneck numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: inspection bottleneck severity rating of 4 score instead of the typical 8 score. Rank implantable device inspection bottleneck risk using severity, occurrence, and detection scores.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Inspection bottleneck severity rating: 4 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 8)
  • Inspection bottleneck occurrence rating: 5 score (held at the documented default)
  • Inspection bottleneck detection rating: 4 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Inspection bottleneck risk score = inspection bottleneck severity score × inspection bottleneck occurrence score × inspection bottleneck detection score.
  • Inspection bottleneck risk score works out to 4.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Inspection bottleneck severity score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Inspection bottleneck occurrence score works out to 5 score at these inputs.
  • Inspection bottleneck detection score works out to 4 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where inspection bottleneck severity rating 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.
  • Use it when several inspection steps compete for improvement effort and you need a defensible, consistent way to prioritize which to address first. 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

  • Inspection bottleneck risk score: 4.35 score (headline result)
  • Inspection bottleneck severity score: 4 score
  • Inspection bottleneck occurrence score: 5 score
  • Inspection bottleneck detection score: 4 score

Run it with your numbers

  • To rerun this with your own numbers, open the live Inspection Bottleneck calculator, set inspection bottleneck severity rating to your actual value, and adjust the remaining inputs to match your operation.
