Packaging Fill Accuracy at 71% target fill accuracy: a worked example

This worked example runs the packaging fill accuracy numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 71% target fill accuracy instead of the typical 98.5%. Calculate fill accuracy for bottles, pails, drums, totes, cartridges, or sample packs of flavor, fragrance, and aroma chemical products.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Containers within fill tolerance: 1,184 containers (held at the documented default)
  • Containers checkweighed: 1,200 containers (held at the documented default)
  • Target fill accuracy: 71 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 98.5)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Packaging Fill Accuracy rate = containers within fill tolerance ÷ containers checked × 100.
  • Packaging Fill Accuracy rate works out to 98.67 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Packaging Fill Accuracy gap to target works out to -27.67 points at these inputs.
  • Containers within fill tolerance works out to 1,184 containers at these inputs.
  • Containers checked works out to 1,200 containers at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target fill accuracy sits at 98.5% and the headline result is 98.67 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 98.67 %.
  • Use it during line monitoring, filler qualification, or audit prep to confirm net-content control on high-value odorant fills. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
