Risk is assessed with 17 questions in five weighted categories: planning and schedule (20%), technical complexity (25%), staff and know-how (15%), production continuity (25%), and financial and contractual risk (15%). Unlike the other checklists, a higher score means higher risk. The result is 0–100 with a radar chart: low, moderate or high risk.
Example: if only technical complexity (25%) and production continuity (25%) are rated at maximum risk and the rest at zero, the result is 50/100, i.e. “moderate risk”.
Frequently asked questions
What does a high score mean?
High risk means the relocation needs a thorough plan, prior mapping and resources. It does not mean you should not relocate.
How can I reduce the risk?
Map the machines and connections, label the cables, plan transport and allow a time buffer. We take these steps in our own relocation projects.
When should I assess the risk?
As early as possible, before signing contracts and locking the schedule.

Methodology and limitations
Methodology based on standard industry calculations and Maintest’s practical industrial experience. This tool provides a planning estimate and does not replace project-specific engineering assessment. This tool is a screening and planning aid developed by Maintest. Results are indicative and depend entirely on the figures and answers you enter. They are not an engineering calculation, a safety assessment or a substitute for the manufacturer’s instructions, applicable standards or professional judgement. Weights, benchmarks and default values are Maintest planning assumptions and can be adjusted to your situation. Do not use this tool as the only basis for safety-critical decisions such as lifting, electrical work or lockout procedures.
