Upholstery Yield at 99% target upholstery cut yield: a worked example

Push target upholstery cut yield up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when reviewing how much of a vinyl or antimicrobial fabric roll is converting to accepted upholstery panels, or when comparing cut layout efficiency between product styles.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted upholstery panels from this roll: 47 panels (unchanged)
  • Total panels cut from this roll: 50 panels (unchanged)
  • Target upholstery cut yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Upholstery cut yield = accepted panels ÷ total panels cut × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 94 % for upholstery cut yield, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 points for yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 47 count for accepted panels.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 50 count for total panels cut.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target upholstery cut yield sits at 95% and the headline result is 94 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 94 %.
  • It computes cut yield as accepted panels divided by total panels cut, then shows how many points you sit above or below your target yield. 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

  • Upholstery cut yield: 94 % (headline result)
  • Yield gap to target: 5 points
  • Accepted panels: 47 count
  • Total panels cut: 50 count
