English term or phrase: S, O, D, R P N

I am translating a presentation about shrinkage and ways to overcome it.
There is a table
Title: Failure mode effets analysis
Columns: Process step, potential failure mode(s), S, O, D, R P N (it goes vertically, maybe it is an abbreviation).
Content of the columns:

Process step: Partial load shipped to carrier
potential failure mode(s): wrong pallets on wrong trucks
S: 4
O: 4
D: 4
R P N: 64

by the way, the content of R P N is product of S, O, D
