  • Table explanation: Each element in this table (e.g., facility design) is composed of subelements (e.g., HVAC, cleanroom design, etc.) that may have individual RPN values. The representative RPN values of each element are based on considering the normalized (rules of proportionality) RPN values of its subelements.

  • The numbers used in this table are examples of possible observations and are not representative of any company or its facilities.
