Display Test Capacity at 63% display test fixture availability: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop display test fixture availability to 63%, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate good display-test output for gaming monitors, arcade screens, VR displays, kiosks, and AV panels per production window.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Displays verified per test cycle: 6 displays / cycle (held at the documented default)
  • Test cycles available this shift: 64 cycles (held at the documented default)
  • Display test fixture availability: 63 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 88)
  • Display first-pass yield: 96 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gross display test capacity = displays tested per cycle × available display test cycles.
  • Good display test capacity works out to 232 units at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gross display test capacity works out to 384 units at these inputs.
  • Display Test Capacity uptime loss works out to 142 units at these inputs.
  • Display Test Capacity yield or rework loss works out to 9.68 units at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where display test fixture availability sits at 88% and the headline result is 324 units, this scenario comes in 28.41% below the baseline at 232 units.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to display test fixture availability, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. First-pass yield here is a single number; it does not model rework recovery, so units that fail and are reworked back into spec are not added to good capacity.

Results at a glance

  • Good display test capacity: 232 units (headline result)
  • Gross display test capacity: 384 units
  • Display Test Capacity uptime loss: 142 units
  • Display Test Capacity yield or rework loss: 9.68 units
