Final Test Capacity at 99% final-test station uptime: a worked example in vending, kiosk & self-service equipment

What does the result look like when final-test station uptime reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when final test capacity in vending, kiosk and self-service equipment is being asked to take on more work and you need to know if there is room.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Units tested per test cycle: 4 units / cycle (unchanged)
  • Available final-test cycles in the shift: 480 cycles (unchanged)
  • Final-test station uptime: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)
  • First-pass final-test yield: 97 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Gross final test capacity = final test capacity output per cycle × available final test capacity cycles) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,844 units for good final test capacity, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,920 units for gross final test capacity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 19.2 units for final test capacity downtime loss.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 57.02 units for final test capacity yield loss.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where final-test station uptime sits at 90% and the headline result is 1,676 units, this scenario comes in 10% above the baseline at 1,844 units.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when final-test station uptime is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It assumes a consistent test cycle and flat uptime and yield, so it overstates capacity when failures cluster around a bad component lot or a firmware regression triggers long retests.

Results at a glance

  • Good final test capacity: 1,844 units (headline result)
  • Gross final test capacity: 1,920 units
  • Final test capacity downtime loss: 19.2 units
  • Final test capacity yield loss: 57.02 units
