WMS, Warehouse Labor & Fulfillment worked example

Storage Density Score with impact severity of storage density failure of 15 score: a worked example

What does the result look like when impact severity of storage density failure reaches 15 score? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when storage density in wms, warehouse labor and fulfillment needs a defensible ranking against other wms, warehouse labor and fulfillment risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Impact severity of storage density failure: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Likelihood of storage density issue occurring: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Detectability before it reaches operations: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where impact severity of storage density failure 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.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when impact severity of storage density failure is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. The score is only as good as the scoring scale — inconsistent 1-10 anchoring across raters makes cross-risk comparison meaningless.

Results at a glance

  • Storage density risk score: 8.15 score (headline result)
  • Storage density severity score: 15 score
  • Storage density occurrence score: 4 score
  • Storage density detection score: 3 score
