Dispense Rate Achievement at 68% target output achievement: a worked example

This worked example runs the dispense rate achievement numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% target output achievement instead of the typical 95%. Compare actual adhesive dispense output with the required dispense output and target process performance.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual dispense output: 42 ml/min (held at the documented default)
  • Required dispense output: 50 ml/min (held at the documented default)
  • Target output achievement: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Dispense output achievement = actual dispense output รท required dispense output.
  • Dispense output achievement works out to 84 % output at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Output gap to target works out to -16 points at these inputs.
  • Actual dispense output works out to 42 ml/min at these inputs.
  • Required dispense output works out to 50 ml/min at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target output achievement sits at 95% and the headline result is 84 % output, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 84 % output.
  • Use it during line qualification, after a nozzle or pump change, or when investigating bead-volume or joint-strength variation. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Dispense output achievement: 84 % output (headline result)
