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.

Results at a glance

  • order yield: 94.4 % (headline result)
  • order yield gap to target: 4.6 points
  • saleable units released: 1,180 count
  • ordered or planned units: 1,250 count
