Cut Loss Percentage at 99% target maximum cut-loss rate: a worked example

This scenario runs the cut loss percentage calculation on the strong side: 99% target maximum cut-loss rate, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when cut loss percentage in textiles and apparel manufacturing needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Panels scrapped in the cut batch: 8 count (unchanged)
  • Total panels cut in the batch: 250 count (unchanged)
  • Target maximum cut-loss rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Cut loss percentage rate = cut loss percentage count ÷ total cut loss percentage population × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for cut loss percentage rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for cut loss percentage gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for cut loss percentage count.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total cut loss percentage population.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target maximum cut-loss rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • Use it after each cut batch or shift to monitor scrap and catch a blade or fabric problem early. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Cut loss percentage rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
  • Cut loss percentage gap to target: 95.8 points
  • Cut loss percentage count: 8 count
  • Total cut loss percentage population: 250 count
