Genealogy Coverage at 110% target genealogy coverage rate: a worked example

This scenario runs the genealogy coverage calculation on the strong side: 110% target genealogy coverage rate, with every other input held at its documented default. Use when assessing recall readiness or customer traceability requirements. Identifies what share of finished goods can be traced backward to every component source if a recall or containment is needed.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Finished units with complete genealogy records: 4,650 units (unchanged)
  • Total finished units produced in the period: 5,000 units (unchanged)
  • Target genealogy coverage rate: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Genealogy coverage rate = (units with full genealogy / total units produced) x 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 93 % for genealogy coverage rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 17 points for gap to genealogy target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,650 count for units with full genealogy.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5,000 count for total units produced.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target genealogy coverage rate sits at 100% and the headline result is 93 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 93 %.
  • Use it during traceability audits, before product launches in regulated markets, or as a recurring MES KPI to confirm scan and record capture is staying complete. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
