Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling worked example
Delivery Risk with gripper delivery severity of 15 score: a worked example in robotic end-of-arm tooling
Push gripper delivery severity up to 15 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when delivery risk in robotic end-of-arm tooling needs a defensible ranking against other robotic end-of-arm tooling risks for the next review.
The inputs for this scenario
- Gripper delivery severity (impact if EOAT ships late): 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
- Gripper delivery occurrence (likelihood of a slip): 4 score (unchanged)
- Gripper delivery detection (chance you catch it early): 3 score (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Delivery risk score = delivery risk severity score × delivery risk occurrence score × delivery risk detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for delivery risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for delivery risk severity score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for delivery risk occurrence score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for delivery risk detection score.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where gripper delivery 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.
- It multiplies severity, occurrence, and detection scores for a specific EOAT delivery to produce a single Risk Priority Number. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
