Aluminum Extrusion & Profile Manufacturing calculator
Aluminum Extrusion Order Yield Calculator Calculator
Order yield measures how much of the produced extrusion order becomes accepted customer shipment after press, aging, finishing, cutting, fabrication, and packaging losses. It helps compare quote assumptions with actual order performance.
What this calculator does
- Calculate order yield from accepted shipped quantity, total planned or produced quantity, and the target order yield percentage.
- an estimator or production manager needs to compare actual order yield with the recovery used in the quote
- Returns actual yield for the full extrusion order scope and the gap versus target.
Formula used
- Actual order yield = accepted shipped extrusion quantity ÷ total produced or planned quantity × 100
- Order yield gap to target = actual order yield - target order yield
Inputs explained
- Order Yield affected amount: undefined
- Order Yield total amount: undefined
- Order Yield target rate: undefined
How to use the result
- Use it after order closeout, during quote review, or when comparing recovery across alloys, finishes, and profile types.
- Be consistent about whether planned quantity includes die trial, overrun, setup lengths, finishing rejects, customer extras, or replacement pieces.
Common questions
- What information do I need for extrusion order yield? You need accepted shipped quantity, total produced or planned quantity, and the target yield used for the order.
- Which unit should I use? Use pounds, feet, meters, or pieces consistently for both quantity inputs. Choose the unit that matches the quote or production order.
- What does order yield tell me? It shows how much of the total order quantity became accepted customer shipment after all process losses.
- How can I use this result? Use it to update quote recovery, review difficult profiles, improve finishing yield, or set minimum run quantities for future orders.
