Hose Cut Length Yield at 68% target cut length yield: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop target cut length yield to 68%, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate hose cut length yield as the percent of coil or spool footage that becomes accepted finished cut pieces after trim, scrap cuts, and unusable remnants.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted cut length produced: 920 ft (held at the documented default)
  • Raw coil or spool length consumed: 1,000 ft (held at the documented default)
  • Target cut length yield: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Hose cut length yield = accepted cut length / raw coil length consumed x 100.
  • Hose cut length yield works out to 92 ft at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gap to cut yield target works out to -24 points at these inputs.
  • Accepted cut length (ft) works out to 920 count at these inputs.
  • Raw coil or spool consumed (ft) works out to 1,000 count at these inputs.

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.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to target cut length yield, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It tracks length only, so it won't reflect cost differences between hose sizes or value lost when an expensive large-bore remnant is scrapped instead of a cheap one.

Results at a glance

  • Hose cut length yield: 92 ft (headline result)
  • Gap to cut yield target: -24 points
  • Accepted cut length (ft): 920 count
  • Raw coil or spool consumed (ft): 1,000 count
