What is yield in SAP MFG-ME - SAP Manufacturing Execution?

SAP Term: yield

• Component: MFG-ME

• Component Name: SAP Manufacturing Execution

• Description: The ratio of acceptable units produced at an operation to the number of units started at that operation. A planned yield is the scheduled yield. An actual yield is the yield actually achieved on the shop floor. The reject rate also called the scrap factor is the inverse of yield. If both are expressed as decimals, reject rate plus yield equals 1.

• Key Concepts: 
  Yield is a measure of the efficiency of a manufacturing process. It is calculated by dividing the number of good products produced by the total number of products produced. Yield is an important metric for manufacturers, as it helps them to identify areas where their processes can be improved.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME), yield can be tracked and monitored in real-time. This allows manufacturers to quickly identify any issues that may be impacting their production efficiency. Yield can also be used to compare different production lines or processes, allowing manufacturers to identify which processes are most efficient.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When tracking yield in SAP MFG-ME, it is important to ensure that all data is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that any changes in yield are accurately reflected in the system. Additionally, it is important to track yield over time, as this will allow manufacturers to identify any trends or patterns in their production efficiency.
  
  Related Information: 
  Yield is closely related to other metrics such as throughput and cycle time. Throughput measures the rate at which products are produced, while cycle time measures the amount of time it takes for a product to move through the production process. By tracking these metrics alongside yield, manufacturers can gain a better understanding of their production processes and identify areas for improvement.
