Hose Cut Length Yield at 99% target cut length yield: a worked example

Push target cut length yield up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when estimating how much of a hose coil converts to saleable cut lengths, or when reviewing cut yield against a scrap target.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted cut length produced: 920 ft (unchanged)
  • Raw coil or spool length consumed: 1,000 ft (unchanged)
  • Target cut length yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Hose cut length yield = accepted cut length / raw coil length consumed x 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 92 ft for hose cut length yield, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 7 points for gap to cut yield target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 920 count for accepted cut length (ft).
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,000 count for raw coil or spool consumed (ft).

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target cut length yield sits at 95% and the headline result is 92 ft, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 92 ft.
  • It computes the percentage of raw coil or spool length consumed that ends up as accepted cut hose, plus the point gap to your yield target. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Hose cut length yield: 92 ft (headline result)
  • Gap to cut yield target: 7 points
  • Accepted cut length (ft): 920 count
  • Raw coil or spool consumed (ft): 1,000 count
