In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example
Scrap per Shift tracks the amount of material discarded due to defects or errors during production. If a factory produces 1,000 units per shift but generates 100 units of scrap, the scrap per shift is 10%. Reducing scrap helps minimize waste, lower production costs, and improve sustainability. By identifying sources of scrap, companies can implement process improvements and enhance product quality.
