Re: FW: Partial Quantity Issues

If you are in discrete manufacturing, you could assume that your losses are scrap.
However, for the process industry, scrap is only one component of the yield.
There are chemical reactions and evaporation, including conversion of solids to gasses that are not captured as âscrapâ, but does effect yield.
Â
As defined by APICS
yieldâThe amount of good or acceptable material available
after the completion of a process. Usually computed
as the final amount divided by the initial amount converted
to a decimal or percentage. In manufacturing
planning and control systems, yield is usually related to
specific routing steps or to the parent item to determine
how many units should be scheduled to produce a specific
number of finished goods. For example, if 50 units of a
product are required by a customer and a yield of 70% is
expected then 72 units (computed as 50 units divided by
.7) should be started in the manufacturing process. Syn:
material yield.

YIELD is sometimes known as "scrap factor."
The field is MBM.BMSCP

Default is 1.0 meaning 100%.
1.08 means consume an extra 8%.
