Production Ramp, Scale-Up & Launch Readiness worked example

Supplier Ramp Readiness with impact severity if supplier misses ramp of 15 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the supplier ramp readiness calculation on the strong side: impact severity if supplier misses ramp of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when supplier ramp readiness in production ramp, scale-up and launch readiness needs a defensible ranking against other production ramp, scale-up and launch readiness risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Impact severity if supplier misses ramp: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood the supplier misses ramp: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Detectability before it hits your line: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where impact severity if supplier misses ramp 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 ramp planning to rank suppliers and focus mitigation on the highest-risk ones first. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
