Waterproofing Yield at 68% target waterproofing pass rate: a worked example

Suppose target waterproofing pass rate falls to 68%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate waterproofing yield for uav and drone manufacturing using production-ready inputs so teams can track KPI performance and decide whether corrective action is needed.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Drones passing the ingress test: 8 count (held at the documented default)
  • Drones in the waterproofing test batch: 250 count (held at the documented default)
  • Target waterproofing pass rate: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Waterproofing yield rate = waterproofing yield count ÷ total waterproofing yield population × 100.
  • Waterproofing yield rate works out to 3.2 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Waterproofing yield gap to target works out to 64.8 points at these inputs.
  • Waterproofing yield count works out to 8 count at these inputs.
  • Total waterproofing yield population works out to 250 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target waterproofing pass rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • It computes the waterproofing yield rate as pass count divided by total batch times 100, and reports the point gap between that rate 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.
