⚠️ AUTOMATIC RPN RISK ASSESSMENT

Not every problem has the same level of risk.

Use the built-in Risk Priority Number calculation to help evaluate and prioritize recorded issues.

The workbook calculates:

RPN = Severity × Likelihood × Detection

Based on the workbook’s risk classification settings, issues are categorized into risk levels for easier monitoring.

Use this information to support risk-based prioritization, management discussions, and improvement planning.

Risk scores should be interpreted according to your organization’s own assessment criteria and professional judgment.

🔄 IDENTIFY RECURRING ISSUES

Repeated problems can indicate unresolved underlying causes or ineffective improvement activities.

Use the recurring issue tracking fields and dashboard charts to:

✔ Identify repeated issues
✔ Monitor recurring problem records
✔ Review frequently recorded root causes
✔ Support corrective action discussions
✔ Identify potential improvement priorities
✔ Prepare visual reports for management meetings

Bring issue records together in one structured Excel workbook.
