Order Yield at 99% target order yield: a worked example
This scenario runs the order yield calculation on the strong side: 99% target order yield, with every other input held at its documented default. checking whether a production order produced enough saleable units
The inputs for this scenario
- Saleable units released to the order: 1,180 units (unchanged)
- Units ordered or planned for the run: 1,250 units (unchanged)
- Target order yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 96)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Order Yield = saleable units released ÷ ordered or planned units × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 94.4 % for order yield, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 4.6 points for order yield gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 1,180 count for saleable units released.
- At this operating point the engine returns 1,250 count for ordered or planned units.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target order yield sits at 96% and the headline result is 94.4 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 94.4 %.
- Use it at end-of-run reconciliation, when sizing a batch so you start enough green or raw input to clear the order, and in weekly fill-rate reviews. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
