Mining Vehicle & Underground Equipment worked example

Supplier Risk Score with severity of supplier failure on equipment build of 15 score: a worked example in mining vehicle & underground equipment

This scenario runs the supplier risk score calculation on the strong side: severity of supplier failure on equipment build of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when supplier risk in mining vehicle and underground equipment needs a defensible ranking against other mining vehicle and underground equipment risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Severity of supplier failure on equipment build: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood the supplier defect occurs: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Chance defect is caught before installation: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where severity of supplier failure on equipment build 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.
  • Use it when ranking suppliers for audit, qualifying a new vendor for a mining drivetrain or brake component, or triaging which incoming-inspection points need tightening. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
