AI Quality Yield Lift at 2.3% target ai yield lift: a worked example

Push target ai yield lift up to 2.3% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a quality engineer needs to compare AI-driven yield improvement against the target set for a pilot or rollout

The inputs for this scenario

  • Additional good units from AI: 1,450 good units (unchanged)
  • Total units produced: 68,000 units (unchanged)
  • Target AI yield lift: 2.3 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 2)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (AI quality yield lift = additional good units from AI ÷ total units produced × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2.13 % yield lift for ai quality yield lift, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.17 points for yield lift gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,450 good units for additional good units from ai.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 68,000 units for total units produced.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target ai yield lift sits at 2% and the headline result is 2.13 % yield lift, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 2.13 % yield lift.
  • It computes the additional good units attributable to AI as a percentage of total units produced, then the point gap to your target lift. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • AI quality yield lift: 2.13 % yield lift (headline result)
  • Yield lift gap to target: 0.17 points
  • Additional good units from AI: 1,450 good units
  • Total units produced: 68,000 units
