Calculate Scrap Rate



Formula

The formula to calculate the Scrap Rate is:

\[ \text{SCRAP} = \frac{\text{WS}}{\text{WM}} \times 100 \]

What is Scrap Rate?

Scrap rate is a measure of the amount of material that is wasted or rejected during a manufacturing process. It is calculated by dividing the weight or units of scrap by the total weight or units of material used, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. Understanding and minimizing scrap rate is important for improving efficiency and reducing costs in production.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{SCRAP} = \frac{50}{1000} \times 100 = 5\% \]

The Scrap Rate is 5%.
