Floor Material Yield at 68% target yield benchmark: a worked example
This worked example runs the floor material yield numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% target yield benchmark instead of the typical 95%. Floor Material Yield measures the share of trailer floor panels lost to scrap or rework against the total processed, then shows how far that sits from your target benchmark.
The inputs for this scenario
- Floor panels scrapped or reworked: 8 units (held at the documented default)
- Total floor panels processed: 250 units (held at the documented default)
- Target yield benchmark: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Floor Material Yield rate = affected amount รท total amount.
- Rate works out to 3.2 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Gap to target works out to 64.8 points at these inputs.
- Affected count works out to 8 count at these inputs.
- Total count works out to 250 count at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target yield benchmark sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
- Use it after a run or shift to quantify floor-material waste and measure it against your yield goal. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
Results at a glance
- Rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
- Gap to target: 64.8 points
- Affected count: 8 count
- Total count: 250 count
