Waste-to-Energy Equipment worked example

Installation Bottleneck with installation delay severity of 15 score: a worked example in waste-to-energy equipment

This scenario runs the installation bottleneck calculation on the strong side: installation delay severity of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when installation bottleneck in waste-to-energy equipment needs a defensible ranking against other waste-to-energy equipment risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Installation delay severity (impact on commissioning): 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Installation delay occurrence (how often it recurs): 4 score (unchanged)
  • Installation delay detection (how easily caught pre-startup): 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where installation delay 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.
  • Use it during construction planning and pre-commissioning risk reviews to rank install-phase failure modes and decide where to add float, inspection, or spare resources. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Installation bottleneck risk score: 8.15 score (headline result)
  • Installation bottleneck severity score: 15 score
  • Installation bottleneck occurrence score: 4 score
  • Installation bottleneck detection score: 3 score
