How is the risk score calculated?

As the product of probability and impact, both on a scale from 1 to 5. The risk score therefore lies between 1 and 25.

What risks does a warehouse project have?

In the app they include incomplete data, sizing for the average, choosing technology too early, interfaces between ERP, WMS and material flow controller, fire protection, delivery delays, a weak ramp-up and cost overruns.

What strategies are there in risk management?

Avoid, reduce, transfer and accept. In the app each risk offers three measures, rated suitable, partly suitable or unsuitable.

How do you review an AI risk list?

Each entry should state cause, event and impact and not duplicate another risk. The app lets you classify five AI entries as usable, too vague, duplicate or without cause.

Risk Matrix for a Warehouse Project

About this app

Place thirteen numbered project risks of distribution centre DC Neckar, each as a chain of cause, event and effect, in the 5×5 matrix, compare with an expert rating and choose measures: the dot moves to the residual risk, the reserve shrinks. Plus an AI risk list to check and a 60-point score sheet.

With explain mode: an AI tutor walks you through the app, points out what matters in the scene and answers your questions.

Describing risks as a chain

A project risk can be checked when it is stated as a chain: cause, event, impact. A sentence such as “data quality is a risk” names neither cause nor consequence and is hard to assess. The risk matrix places each risk by probability and impact on five levels each; the risk score is the product of both. There are four strategies for dealing with a risk: avoid, reduce, transfer and accept. A measure lowers probability, impact or both, and costs money and time.

What the app shows

For the fictional distribution centre DL Neckar there are 13 numbered risks, from incomplete data through interfaces and fire protection to an AI plan adopted without review. Each cell of the 5×5 matrix shows its risk score, and the classes range from low to critical. After your own assessment, arrows show the deviation from the expert assessment. There, the risk scores add up to 154. With suitable measures for the high and critical risks the total drops to 75. The budget and time reserve does not cover every measure.

What you can try

Drag each risk card into the matrix or tap a cell, then compare with the expert. Choose one of three measures per risk and follow how the dot moves to the residual risk and the reserve shrinks. Classify an AI-generated risk list, repair unclear entries and add missing risks. The score sheet awards up to 60 points.
