Manufacturing Master Data & Data Governance worked example

ERP Data Readiness Score with business impact if the field is wrong of 15 score: a worked example

Push business impact if the field is wrong up to 15 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when erp data readiness in manufacturing master data and data governance needs a defensible ranking against other manufacturing master data and data governance risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Business impact if the field is wrong: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • How often the field is wrong today: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Chance the error is caught before go-live: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (ERP data readiness risk score = ERP data readiness severity score × ERP data readiness occurrence score × ERP data readiness detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for erp data readiness risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for erp data readiness severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for erp data readiness occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for erp data readiness detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where business impact if the field is wrong sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • It multiplies severity, occurrence and detection scores into a single ERP data readiness risk number for ranking master-data defects before go-live. 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.
