Glass Install Yield at 99% target glass install yield: a worked example
What does the result look like when target glass install yield reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. measuring glass installation first-pass yield
The inputs for this scenario
- Glass openings passing first inspection: 188 units (unchanged)
- Glass openings installed: 200 units (unchanged)
- Target glass install yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 97)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Glass Install Yield = glass openings passing first inspection ÷ glass openings installed) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 94 % for rate, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 5 points for glass install yield gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 188 count for affected count.
- At this operating point the engine returns 200 count for total count.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target glass install yield sits at 97% and the headline result is 94 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 94 %.
- A figure at this level is achievable when target glass install yield is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It counts openings, not defect severity — one opening that needs a full cut-out and re-bond counts the same as one with a minor trim reset, so yield alone can understate true rework cost.
Results at a glance
