Batch Fill Yield at 99% target fill yield: a worked example
Push target fill yield up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it after a filling run to see what share of the batch shipped as saleable units and how far the yield sits from the SKU target.
The inputs for this scenario
- Good filled units: 9,400 units (unchanged)
- Units started in the batch: 10,000 units (unchanged)
- Target fill yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 97)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Batch fill yield = good filled units ÷ units started in the batch × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 94 % for batch fill yield, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 5 points for gap to target yield.
- At this operating point the engine returns 9,400 count for good filled units.
- At this operating point the engine returns 10,000 count for units started in the batch.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target fill yield sits at 97% and the headline result is 94 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 94 %.
- It divides good filled units by the units started in the batch, expresses it as a percentage, and reports the point gap to 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
- Batch fill yield: 94 % (headline result)
