You are the risk official in Bluewell Inc. You are supposed to prioritize several risks. A risk has a rating for occurrence, severity, and detection as 4, 5, and 6, respectively. What Risk Priority Number (RPN) you would give to it? 

Answer options:

A. 120
B. 100
C. 15
D. 30

A

Steps involving in calculating risk priority number are as follows: ✑ Identify potential failure effects ✑ Identify potential causes ✑ Establish links between each identified potential cause ✑ Identify potential failure modes ✑ Assess severity, occurrence and detection ✑ Perform score assessments by using a scale of 1 -10 (low to high rating) to score these assessments. ✑ Compute the RPN for a particular failure mode as Severity multiplied by occurrence and detection. RPN = Severity * Occurrence * Detection Hence, RPN = 4 * 5 * 6 - = 120 Incorrect Answers: B, C, D: These are not RPN for given values of severity, occurrence, and detection.
