Manufacturing Master Data & Data Governance worked example

Routing Accuracy Score with routing error 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 routing error severity rating to 3 score, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate routing accuracy 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

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

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where routing error 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 routing error severity rating, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It is a relative ranking, not an absolute risk; two routings with the same product can earn the same score through very different combinations, so always review the underlying ratings.

Results at a glance

  • Routing accuracy risk score: 3.35 score (headline result)
  • Routing accuracy severity score: 3 score
  • Routing accuracy occurrence score: 4 score
  • Routing accuracy detection score: 3 score
