Panelization Yield Calculator at 99% target panelization yield: a worked example

This scenario runs the panelization yield calculator calculation on the strong side: 99% target panelization yield, with every other input held at its documented default. a manufacturing engineer needs to evaluate panel utilization and good board yield for an appliance control PCB

The inputs for this scenario

  • Good board images after depaneling: 5,780 board images (unchanged)
  • Total board images on panels: 6,000 board images (unchanged)
  • Target panelization yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 98)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Panelized good-board yield = good board images after depaneling ÷ total board images on panels × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 96.33 % for panelized good-board yield, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2.67 points for panel yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5,780 board images for good board images after depaneling.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 6,000 board images for total board images on panels.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target panelization yield sits at 98% and the headline result is 96.33 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 96.33 %.
  • Use it at end of line after depaneling to reconcile good shippable boards against panels released, and to set or audit panel-start quantities for a control board build. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Panelized good-board yield: 96.33 % (headline result)
  • Panel yield gap to target: 2.67 points
  • Good board images after depaneling: 5,780 board images
  • Total board images on panels: 6,000 board images
