Nonwoven Materials & Technical Textiles worked example

Supplier Risk with severity of supply disruption of 3 score: a worked example in nonwoven materials & technical textiles

This worked example runs the supplier risk numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: severity of supply disruption of 3 score instead of the typical 6 score. Estimate supplier risk for nonwoven materials and technical textiles using production-ready inputs so teams can rank risks and decide which issue needs containment, controls, or escalation first.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Severity of supply disruption (1-10): 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Likelihood of supplier failure (1-10): 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Inbound detection / early-warning score (1-10): 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where severity of supply disruption 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 supplier qualification, annual vendor review, or whenever a raw-material substitution is proposed for your web-forming or finishing line. 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.
