Batch Blend Yield at 99% target batch yield: a worked example

What does the result look like when target batch yield reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it after compounding, filtration, QC release, or packaging to see whether evaporation, vessel hold-up, transfers, samples, or rework reduced usable yield.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted finished batch weight: 485 kg (unchanged)
  • Theoretical formula batch weight: 500 kg (unchanged)
  • Target batch yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 97)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Batch Blend Yield rate = accepted finished batch weight ÷ theoretical formula batch weight × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 97 % for batch blend yield rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2 points for batch blend yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 485 kg for accepted finished batch weight.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 500 kg for theoretical formula batch weight.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target batch yield sits at 97% and the headline result is 97 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 97 %.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when target batch yield is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It measures weight yield only, not whether the blend meets organoleptic or analytical spec — a batch can hit target yield and still fail a sensory or GC panel.

Results at a glance

  • Batch Blend Yield rate: 97 % (headline result)
  • Batch Blend Yield gap to target: 2 points
  • Accepted finished batch weight: 485 kg
  • Theoretical formula batch weight: 500 kg
