Die Cut Yield at 99% die-cut yield target: a worked example in printed electronics & flexible hybrid electronics
Push die-cut yield target up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when die cut yield in printed electronics and flexible hybrid electronics needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.
The inputs for this scenario
- Die-cut pieces rejected for edge defects: 8 units (unchanged)
- Total pieces die-cut in the batch: 250 units (unchanged)
- Die-cut yield target: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Die Cut Yield rate = affected amount รท total amount) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for rate, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for affected count.
- At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total count.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where die-cut yield target sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
- It computes the reject rate by dividing die-cut rejects by the total die-cut, and reports the gap in points between that rate 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.
Results at a glance
- Rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
- Gap to target: 95.8 points
- Affected count: 8 count
- Total count: 250 count
