• Key Concepts: 
  Yield ratio is a term used in the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component of SAP. It is a measure of the efficiency of a production process, calculated by dividing the total amount of output produced by the total amount of input used. It is expressed as a percentage and can be used to compare different production processes and identify areas for improvement. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Yield ratio can be used to measure the efficiency of a production process. To calculate the yield ratio, divide the total amount of output produced by the total amount of input used. This calculation can be done manually or with the help of SAP software. Once the yield ratio has been calculated, it can be used to compare different production processes and identify areas for improvement. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating yield ratio, it is important to ensure that all inputs and outputs are accurately accounted for. This includes both direct inputs (such as raw materials) and indirect inputs (such as energy). Additionally, it is important to consider any losses that may occur during the production process, such as waste or spoilage. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Yield ratio is closely related to other measures of efficiency, such as throughput time and cycle time. Additionally, yield ratio can be used in conjunction with other metrics, such as cost per unit or quality control measures, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a production process.
