Rubber, Tires, Foam & Elastomer Manufacturing worked example

Compound Moisture Risk with moisture defect severity rating of 15 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the compound moisture risk calculation on the strong side: moisture defect severity rating of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when compound moisture risk in rubber, tires, foam and elastomer manufacturing needs a defensible ranking against other rubber, tires, foam and elastomer manufacturing risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Moisture defect severity rating: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Moisture ingress occurrence rating: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Moisture detection difficulty rating: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where moisture defect severity rating 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 when ranking moisture-related defect modes in a compounding FMEA or deciding which materials or steps get drying and moisture-control investment first. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
