Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: 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:

Selected Answer: A

To calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN), you can use the formula: RPN = Occurrence x Severity x Detection In this case, the values are: Occurrence = 4 Severity = 5 Detection = 6 So, RPN = 4 x 5 x 6 = 120 Therefore, the correct RPN for this risk is A. 120.
