A 3-step process is used to make a product. The yield of stepone = 90%; step two = 70%; and step three = 50%. Howmany units would the process have to process to get 100 units ofgood outputs?
Expert Answer
Yield of step one = 90%;
step two = 70%; and
step three = 50%.
Desired Output = 100 units
Number of units to process = Desired output in good units /(yield of step 1 * yield of step 2 * yield of step 3)
= 100 / (50%*70%*90%)
= 317.5
~ 318 units (rounded-up)
