Manufacturing Master Data & Data Governance worked example

ERP Data Readiness Score with business impact if the field is wrong of 3 score: a worked example

This worked example runs the erp data readiness score numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: business impact if the field is wrong of 3 score instead of the typical 6 score. Estimate ERP data readiness 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

  • Business impact if the field is wrong: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • How often the field is wrong today: 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Chance the error is caught before go-live: 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

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

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 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
  • Use it during data-readiness reviews and cutover gating to prioritize which fields and objects to remediate 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

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