Ceramic Batch Yield at 99% target first-quality yield: a worked example

This scenario runs the ceramic batch yield calculation on the strong side: 99% target first-quality yield, with every other input held at its documented default. a ceramic plant is checking whether a tile, sanitaryware, or fired product batch met the first-quality yield target

The inputs for this scenario

  • First-quality ceramic pieces: 22,800 pieces (unchanged)
  • Total ceramic pieces produced or inspected: 25,000 pieces (unchanged)
  • Target first-quality yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 92)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (First-quality batch yield = first-quality ceramic pieces ÷ total ceramic pieces produced or inspected × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 91.2 % for first-quality batch yield, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 7.8 points for yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 22,800 count for first-quality ceramic pieces.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 25,000 count for total ceramic pieces produced or inspected.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target first-quality yield sits at 92% and the headline result is 91.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 91.2 %.
  • Use it after sorting a fired batch to grade performance, track yield trends, or trigger a process audit when the gap to target widens. 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

  • First-quality batch yield: 91.2 % (headline result)
  • Yield gap to target: 7.8 points
  • First-quality ceramic pieces: 22,800 count
  • Total ceramic pieces produced or inspected: 25,000 count
