Looking for a solution?

Scrap is material or product that cannot be used as intended and is removed from the production flow, whether discarded, recycled or otherwise dispositioned. Tracking scrap quantity, reason, process step and product helps teams understand material loss and quality issues. Scrap is one quality loss that may be reflected in OEE, but its causes need separate investigation.
