Yield loss is not packaging scrap
Planned minus good make yield loss %. Loss % = (planned − good) ÷ planned × 100. Type both.
Pair: Manufacturing yield loss on Stock. Packaging: packaging scrap rate. Changeover: packaging changeover.
What you type
Planned — units the run was supposed to produce (batch ticket).
Good — sellable / released good units from that same run.
Lost = planned − good. Yield loss % = lost ÷ planned × 100. Raise yield or cut cover when loss % is fat — do not invent a loss chip.
What not to do
Do not invent yield loss %. Do not mix packaging scrap into manufacturing yield without splitting. Do not treat QA holds as good units. Do not average every SKU when one owns the hole.

FAQ
- Is this packaging scrap rate?
- Sibling floor waste. [Packaging scrap rate](/manuals/vitaquest-packaging-scrap-rate) is scrap ÷ batch on packaging. This page is (planned − good) ÷ planned on the manufacturing run.
- Is this packaging changeover?
- Related clock. [Packaging changeover](/manuals/eagle-labs-packaging-changeover) is days × demand $. This page is yield loss % of planned units.
- What yield loss % should I invent?
- None. Type planned units and good units from the same manufacturing batch.
