Panel Cut Yield at 67% panel cut yield target: a worked example
Suppose panel cut yield target falls to 67%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate the panel cut yield for air handling unit panels or duct blank cuts. Compare accepted finished panels to total panels cut to find your current yield and the gap to the shop target.
The inputs for this scenario
- Accepted panels or blanks after cutting: 228 panels (held at the documented default)
- Total panels or blanks cut: 250 panels (held at the documented default)
- Panel cut yield target: 67 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 93)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Panel cut yield = accepted panels รท total panels cut.
- Rate works out to 91.2 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Gap to target works out to -24.2 points at these inputs.
- Affected count works out to 228 count at these inputs.
- Total count works out to 250 count at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where panel cut yield target sits at 93% and the headline result is 91.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 91.2 %.
- It computes the percentage of cut panels that are accepted and the point gap between that yield and your target. 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
- Rate: 91.2 % (headline result)
- Gap to target: -24.2 points
- Affected count: 228 count
- Total count: 250 count
Run it with your numbers
