PLM, BOM & Digital Thread worked example

BOM Maturity Score with bom gap severity of 15 score: a worked example in plm, bom & digital thread

Push bom gap severity up to 15 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when bom maturity in plm, bom and digital thread needs a defensible ranking against other plm, bom and digital thread risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • BOM gap severity (impact of the maturity gap): 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • BOM gap occurrence (how often it appears): 4 score (unchanged)
  • BOM release-readiness detection difficulty: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where bom gap severity 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 computes a BOM maturity risk priority number by multiplying the severity, occurrence and detection scores of a bill-of-materials maturity gap. 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.

Results at a glance

  • Bom maturity risk score: 8.15 score (headline result)
