Oulete · Filling-run planning example

Plan quantities by component

Work backward from good filled output, then apply an agreed lower accepted-delivery count and order multiples. The article's hypothetical example is loaded below. Replace every assumption with the parties' agreed inputs.

Planning arithmetic only. This tool is not a quote, empirical yield, contractual guarantee or pack qualification. The output does not establish stock, MOQ, compatibility, timing, an upper overrun or its cost. The calculation runs in your browser; the planner does not submit your input values.

1. Good filled output and separate setup

Saleable filled packsWhole units committed for sale; exclude the next field.Additional good filled packsFilled retains or other non-saleable uses, not empty spares.Production-run yield after setup (%)Good filled packs ÷ complete sets issued after setup. Above 0% to 100%; at most 2 decimal places.Separate complete setup setsExcluded from the yield above. Do not count the same setup loss twice.

The model assumes each consumed complete set uses every required component. Refine with component-stage consumption records if unused parts can be recovered. Unknowns are not zeroes.

2. Purchased component lines

Enter purchased units, not unquoted internal subparts. Separate checks and unused reserves are outside the filled target, setup and run yield. Keep each SKU/version separate.

Only use an underrun percentage here if the agreed lower bound applies to correct, conforming accepted components available for this run. A physical-piece variance or AQL does not provide that promise. Multiples are measured from zero; “MOQ plus increments” is outside this model.

3. Review the arithmetic

Table scrolls horizontally on small screens. All results count pieces except complete-set columns.

Purchased component	Accepted need	Before multiple	Nominal order	Modeled lower accepted count	After separate checks & reserves	Complete sets supported

Lower accepted count = floor(nominal order × (1 − underrun)), a conservative whole-piece convention for this model. Confirm the actual quotation's counting and rounding rules. Good filled output in the forward check is also rounded down. These are modeled counts, not a manufacturing forecast or a guaranteed minimum.
