Upholstery Yield at 68% target upholstery cut yield: a worked example

Suppose target upholstery cut yield falls to 68%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate the percentage of upholstery roll material that becomes accepted finished panels for exam tables, treatment chairs, or stretchers after cutting and inspection.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted upholstery panels from this roll: 47 panels (held at the documented default)
  • Total panels cut from this roll: 50 panels (held at the documented default)
  • Target upholstery cut yield: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Upholstery cut yield = accepted panels ÷ total panels cut × 100.
  • Upholstery cut yield works out to 94 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Yield gap to target works out to -26 points at these inputs.
  • Accepted panels works out to 47 count at these inputs.
  • Total panels cut works out to 50 count at these inputs.

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. 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

  • Upholstery cut yield: 94 % (headline result)
  • Yield gap to target: -26 points
  • Accepted panels: 47 count
  • Total panels cut: 50 count
