Option Mix Complexity Score with option mix impact score of 18 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the option mix complexity score calculation on the strong side: option mix impact score of 18 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when option combinations affect BOM accuracy, assembly sequence, test procedures, service parts, or quote risk.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Option mix impact score: 18 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 7)
  • Option mix recurrence score: 6 score (unchanged)
  • Option control weakness score: 4 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Option mix complexity score = option mix impact score × option mix recurrence score × option control weakness score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10.3 score for option mix complexity score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 score for option mix impact score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 6 score for option mix recurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for option control weakness score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where option mix impact score sits at 7 score and the headline result is 5.9 score, this scenario comes in 74.58% above the baseline at 10.3 score.
  • Use it during option-portfolio reviews, configurator rule-setting, or when a recurring build problem traces back to specific option pairings and you need to rank what to fix. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
