Process Parameter Coverage at 99% target parameter coverage: a worked example

Push target parameter coverage up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. a process engineer needs to check whether critical parameters are monitored for analytics

The inputs for this scenario

  • Monitored critical process parameters: 128 parameters (unchanged)
  • Required critical process parameters: 160 parameters (unchanged)
  • Target parameter coverage: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Process parameter coverage = monitored critical parameters ÷ required critical parameters × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 80 % coverage for process parameter coverage, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 19 points for parameter coverage gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 128 parameters for monitored critical parameters.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 160 parameters for required critical parameters.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target parameter coverage sits at 90% and the headline result is 80 % coverage, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 80 % coverage.
  • It computes the percentage of required critical process parameters that are currently monitored and the gap to your coverage target. 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

  • Process parameter coverage: 80 % coverage (headline result)
  • Parameter coverage gap to target: 19 points
  • Monitored critical parameters: 128 parameters
  • Required critical parameters: 160 parameters
