Industrial Enzymes & Bio-Ingredients worked example

Supplier Risk with supplier impact score of 20 score: a worked example in industrial enzymes & bio-ingredients

Push supplier impact score up to 20 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when comparing suppliers of media ingredients, carriers, stabilizers, packaging, cultures, contract processing, or critical raw materials.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Supplier impact score: 20 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8)
  • Supply disruption likelihood score: 5 score (unchanged)
  • Supplier control weakness score: 4 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Supplier risk score = supplier impact score × supply disruption likelihood score × supplier control weakness score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10.75 score for supplier risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 20 score for supplier impact score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for supply disruption likelihood score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for supplier control weakness score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where supplier impact 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 impact, disruption likelihood, and control weakness into one relative supplier risk score so suppliers can be ranked on a common scale. 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.
