Precision Springs, Stampings & Micro-Formed Components worked example

Packaging Damage Risk with damage severity if packaging fails of 15 score: a worked example in precision springs, stampings & micro-formed components

This scenario runs the packaging damage risk calculation on the strong side: damage severity if packaging fails of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when packaging damage risk in precision springs, stampings and micro-formed components needs a defensible ranking against other precision springs, stampings and micro-formed components risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Damage severity if packaging fails: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood of in-transit packaging damage: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Ability to detect damage before shipment: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where damage severity if packaging fails 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 during packaging design reviews, after a transit damage complaint, or when qualifying new packaging for a fragile spring or stamping. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
