Precision Springs, Stampings & Micro-Formed Components worked example

Supplier Risk with defect impact severity of 15 score: a worked example in precision springs, stampings & micro-formed components

What does the result look like when defect impact severity reaches 15 score? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when supplier 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

  • Defect impact severity (1-10): 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood of occurrence (1-10): 4 score (unchanged)
  • Detectability difficulty (1-10): 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where defect impact 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.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when defect impact severity is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. Scores are subjective and only comparable when every supplier is rated on the same scale by the same rubric; the number ranks risk, it does not predict a specific failure.

Results at a glance
