Kit Yield at 71% target kit yield: a worked example

Suppose target kit yield falls to 71%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate optical assembly kit yield from complete released kits versus kits started and compare with the target.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Complete released optical kits: 238 kits (held at the documented default)
  • Optical kits started or staged: 250 kits (held at the documented default)
  • Target kit yield: 71 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 98)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Optical kit yield = complete released kits รท optical kits started or staged.
  • Optical assembly kit yield works out to 95.2 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gap to kit-yield target works out to -24.2 points at these inputs.
  • Complete released kits works out to 238 kits at these inputs.
  • Kits started or staged works out to 250 kits at these inputs.

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 %.
  • It divides complete released optical kits by the kits started or staged to give a yield percentage, then shows the point gap to your target. 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

  • Optical assembly kit yield: 95.2 % (headline result)
  • Gap to kit-yield target: -24.2 points
  • Complete released kits: 238 kits
  • Kits started or staged: 250 kits
