Port, Crane & Terminal Equipment worked example

Supplier Risk with supply disruption severity of 3 score: a worked example in port, crane & terminal equipment

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

The inputs for this scenario

  • Supply Disruption Severity: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Disruption Likelihood (Occurrence): 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Early-Warning Detectability: 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 supply disruption severity 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 vendor qualification, annual supplier reviews, or when deciding which parts justify dual-sourcing or safety stock. 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.
