Adhesive Patch Yield at 68% target adhesive patch yield: a worked example

This worked example runs the adhesive patch yield numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% target adhesive patch yield instead of the typical 95%. Estimate adhesive patch yield for wearable medical sensors using production-ready inputs so teams can track KPI performance and decide whether corrective action is needed.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Conforming adhesive patches: 8 count (held at the documented default)
  • Adhesive patches inspected: 250 count (held at the documented default)
  • Target adhesive patch yield: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

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

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target adhesive patch yield 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 converting or lamination lot, or when auditing an incoming reel of medical adhesive. 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

  • Adhesive patch yield rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
  • Adhesive patch yield gap to target: 64.8 points
  • Adhesive patch yield count: 8 count
  • Total adhesive patch yield population: 250 count
