Precision Springs, Stampings & Micro-Formed Components worked example

Packaging Damage Risk with damage severity if packaging fails of 3 score: a worked example in precision springs, stampings & micro-formed components

This worked example runs the packaging damage risk numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: damage severity if packaging fails of 3 score instead of the typical 6 score. Estimate packaging damage risk for precision springs, stampings and micro-formed components using production-ready inputs so teams can rank risks and decide which issue needs containment, controls, or escalation first.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Damage severity if packaging fails: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Likelihood of in-transit packaging damage: 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Ability to detect damage before shipment: 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

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

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 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
  • Use it during packaging design reviews, after a transit damage complaint, or when qualifying new packaging for a fragile spring or stamping. 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.

Results at a glance
