ERP & MRP Planning calculator
Schedule Risk Score Calculator
Schedule Risk Score ranks production plans that are likely to miss due dates because of materials, labor, machine capacity, or data visibility.
What this calculator does
- Score schedule risk from due-date impact, constraint likelihood, and visibility or recovery risk.
- a scheduler needs to rank schedule risk before releasing the plan
- It creates a weighted risk score for a production schedule or order group.
Formula used
- Schedule risk score = due-date impact × 0.40 + constraint likelihood × 0.35 + visibility/recovery risk × 0.25
Inputs explained
- Due-date impact score: Score higher when lateness affects customer shipments, penalties, or downstream commitments.
- Constraint likelihood score: Score higher when materials, labor, tooling, or machine capacity are likely to constrain the schedule.
- Visibility and recovery risk score: Score higher when problems are hard to see early or recovery options are limited.
How to use the result
- Use it during ERP cleanup, MRP review, production scheduling, S&OP prep, purchasing decisions, shortage meetings, capacity planning, or daily shop-floor execution reviews.
- This is a planning estimate. Confirm final commitments against current ERP/MRP records, released BOMs and routings, inventory accuracy, supplier commitments, open work orders, quality holds, and shop-floor constraints.
Common questions
- What is the Schedule Risk Score calculator for? It creates a weighted risk score for a production schedule or order group.
- What information do I need before using it? You need due-date impact, constraint likelihood, and visibility/recovery risk scores.
- How should I use the result? Use it to prioritize planner attention, escalate constraints, add buffers, or adjust promise dates.
- When is the result only an estimate? It is only an estimate when demand, inventory, lead time, routing hours, setup time, yield, supplier dates, or work-center capacity comes from forecast assumptions or stale ERP data instead of current orders and recent execution history.
