Process Batch Yield at 71% target batch yield: a worked example
Suppose target batch yield falls to 71%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate batch yield from good released output, total batch input, and target yield.
The inputs for this scenario
- good released output: 11,650 lb (held at the documented default)
- total batch input or theoretical output: 12,000 lb (held at the documented default)
- target batch yield: 71 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 98)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Batch yield = good released output รท total batch input.
- actual batch yield works out to 97.08 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- yield gap to target works out to -26.08 points at these inputs.
- good released output works out to 11,650 count at these inputs.
- total batch input works out to 12,000 count at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target batch yield sits at 98% and the headline result is 97.08 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 97.08 %.
- It computes actual batch yield as good released output divided by total batch input, then the gap in percentage points 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
- actual batch yield: 97.08 % (headline result)
- yield gap to target: -26.08 points
- good released output: 11,650 count
- total batch input: 12,000 count
