Order Yield at 69% target order yield: a worked example

Suppose target order yield falls to 69%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate order yield from saleable units shipped or released, ordered or planned units, and target order yield.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Saleable units released to the order: 1,180 units (held at the documented default)
  • Units ordered or planned for the run: 1,250 units (held at the documented default)
  • Target order yield: 69 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 96)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Order Yield = saleable units released ÷ ordered or planned units × 100.
  • order yield works out to 94.4 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • order yield gap to target works out to -25.4 points at these inputs.
  • saleable units released works out to 1,180 count at these inputs.
  • ordered or planned units works out to 1,250 count at these inputs.

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 %.
  • It computes saleable units released divided by ordered or planned units, times 100, plus the gap in points to your target yield. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • order yield: 94.4 % (headline result)
  • order yield gap to target: -25.4 points
  • saleable units released: 1,180 count
  • ordered or planned units: 1,250 count
