Panelization Yield Calculator at 71% target panelization yield: a worked example

This worked example runs the panelization yield calculator numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 71% target panelization yield instead of the typical 98%. Calculate PCB panelization yield from good board images, total board images, and target panel yield for appliance control boards.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Good board images after depaneling: 5,780 board images (held at the documented default)
  • Total board images on panels: 6,000 board images (held at the documented default)
  • Target panelization yield: 71 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 98)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Panelized good-board yield = good board images after depaneling ÷ total board images on panels × 100.
  • Panelized good-board yield works out to 96.33 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Panel yield gap to target works out to -25.33 points at these inputs.
  • Good board images after depaneling works out to 5,780 board images at these inputs.
  • Total board images on panels works out to 6,000 board images at these inputs.

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. 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

  • Panelized good-board yield: 96.33 % (headline result)
  • Panel yield gap to target: -25.33 points
  • Good board images after depaneling: 5,780 board images
  • Total board images on panels: 6,000 board images
