Example: Component Scrap

This table illustrates the calculations for cumulative planned yield and operation scrap:

Step

Operational Planned Yield Percent

Cumulative Planned Yield Percent

Operation Scrap Percent

40

80

80 percent

(100/0.8) - 100 = 25 percent

30

90

.80 × .90 × 100 = 72 percent

(100/0.72) - 100 = 39 percent

20

100

.72 × 100 = 72 percent

(100/0.72) - 100 = 39 percent

10

95

.72 × .95 × 100 = 68 percent

(100/0.68) - 100 = 47 percent
