Yield Analysis

Yield Analysis is a crucial aspect of production monitoring in ProcessForce, helping manufacturers assess efficiency by comparing planned and actual production outcomes. The analysis can be simple, such as a basic Planned vs. Actual quantity comparison, or detailed, evaluating specific material usage across Parent Items, CoProducts, ByProducts, and Scrap.


Yield Analysis Examples

The table below provides examples of different yield calculation methods, illustrating how various components contribute to yield efficiency.

Yield BasisYield CalculationExample
Item ParentItem ParentItem Parent Actual Quantity / Item Parent Planned Quantity * 100
Item ParentItem Parent + CoProducts + Scrap(Item Parent Actual Quantity + CoProducts Actual Quantity + Scrap Actual Quantity) / Item Parent Planned Quantity * 100

Yield Formulas

info

Please check the Yield settings for default formulas.

Within the General Settings form → ProcessForce tab → Bill of Materials and Manufacturing Orders tab, four additional default formulas have been added:

  • Yield,
  • CoProduct Yield,
  • ByProduct Yield,
  • Scrap Yield.

Once configured, these formulas are applied automatically within the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Manufacturing Orders (MO).

Bill of Materials Formulas

To view, create, or modify a Yield Formula, click the yellow button in the BOM form to open the Yield Formula Form:

The Yield Formulas defined within the Bill of Material form are also copied to the Manufacturing Order form and displayed by clicking on the yellow button.If required, the Yield Formulas can be edited.
