Audio Test Capacity at 63% audio test fixture availability: a worked example

Suppose audio test fixture availability falls to 63%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate good audio test output for headsets, speakers, sound bars, arcade cabinets, controllers, kiosks, and AV entertainment devices.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Audio devices tested per cycle: 8 devices / cycle (held at the documented default)
  • Available audio test cycles: 80 cycles (held at the documented default)
  • Audio test fixture availability: 63 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 87)
  • Audio first-pass yield: 95 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gross audio test capacity = audio devices tested per cycle × available audio test cycles.
  • Good audio test capacity works out to 383 units at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gross audio test capacity works out to 640 units at these inputs.
  • Audio Test Capacity uptime loss works out to 237 units at these inputs.
  • Audio Test Capacity yield or rework loss works out to 20.16 units at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where audio test fixture availability sits at 87% and the headline result is 529 units, this scenario comes in 27.59% below the baseline at 383 units.
  • It computes good audio test output as devices per cycle times available cycles, derated by fixture availability and first-pass acoustic yield, with uptime and yield losses broken out. 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

  • Good audio test capacity: 383 units (headline result)
  • Gross audio test capacity: 640 units
  • Audio Test Capacity uptime loss: 237 units
  • Audio Test Capacity yield or rework loss: 20.16 units
