Fiber Optic Cable & Photonic Interconnects worked example
Kit Yield at 99% target kit yield: a worked example
This scenario runs the kit yield calculation on the strong side: 99% target kit yield, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when managing kits for patch cords, MPO trunks, pigtails, connector sets, transceiver accessories, or photonic assembly work orders.
The inputs for this scenario
- Complete released optical kits: 238 kits (unchanged)
- Optical kits started or staged: 250 kits (unchanged)
- Target kit yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 98)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Optical kit yield = complete released kits รท optical kits started or staged) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 95.2 % for optical assembly kit yield, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3.8 points for gap to kit-yield target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 238 kits for complete released kits.
- At this operating point the engine returns 250 kits for kits started or staged.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target kit yield sits at 98% and the headline result is 95.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 95.2 %.
- Use it at the end of a shift or build batch to confirm how many staged kits actually cleared as complete and whether you hit the kit-yield target. 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
- Optical assembly kit yield: 95.2 % (headline result)
- Gap to kit-yield target: 3.8 points
- Complete released kits: 238 kits
- Kits started or staged: 250 kits
