Training, Certification & Skills Compliance worked example

Skills Redundancy Score with severity if the only qualified operator is unavailable of 15 score: a worked example

Push severity if the only qualified operator is unavailable up to 15 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when skills redundancy in training, certification and skills compliance needs a defensible ranking against other training, certification and skills compliance risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Severity if the only qualified operator is unavailable: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood that single point of skill fails or leaves: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Chance a coverage gap is spotted before it stops the line: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where severity if the only qualified operator is unavailable 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 combines the severity, likelihood, and detectability of a single-point-of-skill failure into one redundancy-risk 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.
