What the % of required rate tells you
100% or more — Rate metThe line held full customer demand across the run. Capacity is demonstrated — clears for sign‑off when quality also passes.
90–99% — MarginalClose to demand but short. Capacity is borderline — record losses and corrective actions, then re‑verify the gap before approval.
Below 90% — Not metThe process cannot yet hold demand (e.g. 10% = a tenth of required output). Fix downtime, bottlenecks or staffing and re‑run before sign‑off.
How the overall call is decided — rate and first‑time‑through together
PassRate is 100%+ and FTT meets the goal. Both capacity and quality demonstrated — clear to sign off.
ConditionalAlmost there — rate ≥90% and FTT within 5% of goal. A 100% rate with FTT just under goal lands here. Log actions and re‑verify.
Not metRate below 90%, or FTT more than 5% under goal. Address the losses and re‑run before sign‑off.
