Dairy & Frozen Food Manufacturing worked example

Batch Culture Yield at 99% target culture release yield: a worked example

Push target culture release yield up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when batch culture yield in dairy and frozen food manufacturing needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Released cultured batches or product weight: 8 batches or lb (unchanged)
  • Total inoculated batch population: 250 batches or lb (unchanged)
  • Target culture release yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Batch culture release yield = released cultured product ÷ total inoculated batch population × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for batch culture release yield, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for culture yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for released cultured product.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for inoculated culture population.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target culture release yield sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • It computes the percentage of inoculated batches (or weight) released after culturing, and the gap between that yield and your target. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Batch culture release yield: 3.2 % (headline result)
  • Culture yield gap to target: 95.8 points
  • Released cultured product: 8 count
  • Inoculated culture population: 250 count
