Slitting Yield at 99% target slitting yield: a worked example

Push target slitting yield up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when a slitting line supervisor needs to show prime yield against target after edge trim, scrap, and crop ends.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Prime mult weight: 24,500 lb (unchanged)
  • Master coil weight slit: 25,000 lb (unchanged)
  • Target slitting yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 98)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Slitting yield = prime mult weight ÷ master coil weight slit × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 98 % for slitting yield, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1 points for yield gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 24,500 count for prime mult weight.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 25,000 count for master coil weight slit.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target slitting yield sits at 98% and the headline result is 98 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 98 %.
  • It computes slitting yield as prime mult weight divided by master coil weight slit, times 100, and reports the point gap between that yield and your target. 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.
