Fabricated Frame Yield at 69% target first-pass frame yield: a worked example

This worked example runs the fabricated frame yield numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 69% target first-pass frame yield instead of the typical 96%. Calculate first-pass yield for fabricated farm machinery frames from accepted frames, total frames built, and a yield target.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted fabricated frames: 188 frames (held at the documented default)
  • Total fabricated frames built: 205 frames (held at the documented default)
  • Target first-pass frame yield: 69 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 96)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Fabricated frame yield = accepted fabricated frames ÷ total fabricated frames built × 100.
  • Fabricated frame yield works out to 91.71 % frame yield at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Frame yield gap to target works out to -22.71 percentage points at these inputs.
  • Accepted fabricated frames works out to 188 frames at these inputs.
  • Total fabricated frames built works out to 205 frames at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target first-pass frame yield sits at 96% and the headline result is 91.71 % frame yield, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 91.71 % frame yield.
  • Use it on a daily or per-batch basis to monitor weld-shop quality and flag when frame yield drifts below target. 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

  • Fabricated frame yield: 91.71 % frame yield (headline result)
  • Frame yield gap to target: -22.71 percentage points
  • Accepted fabricated frames: 188 frames
  • Total fabricated frames built: 205 frames
