Typical Rankings of Detection Indices (Ford Motor Company, 2001)

Effect Criteria : likelihood of Detection by Rank


Design Control
Absolute Uncertainty Design Control will not and/or cannot detect a 10
potential cause/mechanism and subsequent failure
mode; or there is no Design Control.
Very Remote Very remote chance the Design Control will 9
detect a potential cause of failure or subsequent
failure mode.
Remote Remote chance the Design Control will detect a 8
potential cause of failure or subsequent failure
mode.
Very low Very low chance the Design Control will detect a 7
potential cause of failure or subsequent mode
Low Low chance the Design Control will detect a 6
potential cause of failure or subsequent failure
mode.
Moderate Moderate chance the design control will defect a 5
potential cause of failure or subsequent failure
mode
Moderately High Moderately high chance the Design Control will 4
detect a potential cause of failure or subsequent
failure mode.
High High chance the design control will detect a 3
potential cause of failure or subsequent failure
mode
Very high Very high chance the design control will detect a 2
potential cause of failure or subsequent failure
mode.
Almost Certain Design control will almost certainly detect a 1
potential cause of failure or subsequent failure
mode
