Manufacturing Master Data & Data Governance worked example

ERP Data Quality Score with erp data defect severity rating of 3 score: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop erp data defect severity rating to 3 score, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate ERP data quality for manufacturing master data and data governance using production-ready inputs so teams can rank risks and decide which issue needs containment, controls, or escalation first.

The inputs for this scenario

  • ERP data defect severity rating: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • ERP data defect occurrence rating: 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • ERP data defect detection rating: 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: ERP data quality risk score = ERP data quality severity score × ERP data quality occurrence score × ERP data quality detection score.
  • ERP data quality risk score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • ERP data quality severity score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
  • ERP data quality occurrence score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • ERP data quality detection score works out to 3 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where erp data defect severity rating sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to erp data defect severity rating, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It produces a relative ranking, not an absolute risk; identical scores can come from very different rating combinations, so always inspect the underlying severity, occurrence, and detection.

Results at a glance

  • ERP data quality risk score: 3.35 score (headline result)
  • ERP data quality severity score: 3 score
  • ERP data quality occurrence score: 4 score
