Aluminum Extrusion Order Yield Calculator at 65% target order yield rate: a worked example

This worked example runs the aluminum extrusion order yield calculator numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 65% target order yield rate instead of the typical 90%. Calculate order yield from accepted shipped quantity, total planned or produced quantity, and the target order yield percentage.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted shipped extrusion quantity: 9,400 units (held at the documented default)
  • Total produced or planned quantity: 10,800 units (held at the documented default)
  • Target order yield rate: 65 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 90)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Actual order yield = accepted shipped extrusion quantity ÷ total produced or planned quantity × 100.
  • Actual extrusion order yield works out to 87.04 % order yield at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Order yield gap to target works out to -22.04 points at these inputs.
  • Accepted shipped extrusion quantity works out to 9,400 lb, ft, or pieces at these inputs.
  • Total produced or planned quantity works out to 10,800 lb, ft, or pieces at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target order yield rate sits at 90% and the headline result is 87.04 % order yield, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 87.04 % order yield.
  • Use it at run close-out or order close-out to grade a die, alloy, or press line against your committed yield, and to flag orders that need a re-press or material true-up. 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

  • Actual extrusion order yield: 87.04 % order yield (headline result)
  • Order yield gap to target: -22.04 points
  • Accepted shipped extrusion quantity: 9,400 lb, ft, or pieces
  • Total produced or planned quantity: 10,800 lb, ft, or pieces
