Criteria: Severity of Effect
May expose client to loss, harm or major disruption - failure will occur without warning
May expose client to loss, harm or major disruption - failure will occur with warning
Major disruption of service involving client interaction, resulting in either associate re-work or inconvenience to client
Minor disruption of service involving client interaction and resulting in either associate re-work or inconvenience to clients
Major disruption of service not involving client interaction and resulting in either associate re-work or inconvenience to clients
Minor disruption of service not involving client interaction and resulting in either associate re-work or inconvenience to clients
Minor disruption of service involving client interaction that does not result in either associate re-work or inconvenience to clients
Minor disruption of service not involving client interaction and does not result in either associate re-work or inconvenience to clie
No disruption of service noticed by the client in any capacity and does not result in either associate re-work or inconvenience to

 Occurrence Scale
Ranking Probability of Failure
10
Very High: Failure is almost inevitable
9
8 High: Generally associated with processes similar to previous processes that have often
7 failed
6
Moderate: Generally associated with processes similar to previous processes which
5
have experienced occasional failures, but not in major proportions
4

3 Low: Isolated failures associated with similar processes

2 Very Low: Only isolated failures associated with almost identical processes

1 Remote: Failure is unlikely. No failures associated with almost identical processes

Criteria: Likelihood the existence of a defect will be detected by process controls
before next or subsequent process, -OR- before exposure to a client
No known controls available to detect failure mode
Very remote likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
Remote likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
Very low likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
Low likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
Moderate likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
Moderately high likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
High likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
Very high likelihood current controls will detect failure mode
Current controls almost certain to detect the failure mode.
Reliable detection controls are known with similar processes.
