How to use this tool
- Enter stage 1 yield, stage 2 yield, stage 3 yield.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Rolled yield = stage 1 fraction × stage 2 fraction × stage 3 fraction.
Using stage 1 yield = 95 %, stage 2 yield = 98 %, stage 3 yield = 97 %, the result is 90.307 %. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
Understanding your result
Stage yields must be conditional pass rates for the same sequential flow. Rework loops and branching require a more detailed process model.
What to keep in mind
Stage yields must be conditional pass rates for the same sequential flow. Rework loops and branching require a more detailed process model. Use consistent currencies, reporting periods and accounting definitions. This arithmetic estimate excludes items not entered in the form.
Common questions
How do I use this rolled throughput yield calculator?
Estimate end-to-end first-pass yield across three sequential processing stages. Enter stage 1 yield in %, stage 2 yield in %, stage 3 yield in %. The starting example is editable; use values for the same system or project.
