The Production Scrap report presents important key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Scrap % and Scrap Quantity by Work Center, Machine Center, Source No., and Production Order.
The Production Order Scrap % KPI card highlights the relationship between Finished Quantity and Scrap Quantity to help clarify the drivers behind the production order scrap percent.
The Scrap Quantity Over Time chart shows how scrap quantity changes over time. This chart allows you to identify trends in production scrap as processes change.
Work center and machine center statistics display in the KPI Bar. Work Center Scrap % and Machine Center Scrap % are derived from the Work Center Scrap and Work Center Output respectively. These figures help you understand the efficiency of your production facilities at a glance.
The Scrap % by Production Order chart gives you an easy way to compare scrap rates across different productions orders. Cross filter this report by the Scrap Quantity vs. Expected Scrap Quantity by Source No. chart to identify which production orders contribute to the scrap rate.
The Scrap Quantity by Scrap Code visual allows you to quickly compare and analyze why scrap occurred.
Used together, these visuals help uncover where and why waste is happening, so you can take steps to reduce it.
