Material Volume and Yield#
Overview#
The Material Volume and Yield dashboard provides insights about the quantity of Material processed and the yield achieved over a selected period. It enables performance tracking, identification of top material loss causes, and historical analysis of production efficiency.
Folder#
Material folder.
Database#
- DWH (queried via Cube using GraphQL) for reliability metrics.
- CDM (queried via OData) for maintenance orders.
Data#
The dashboard displays the following key metrics:
- Yield (%)
- Volume In
- Volume Out
- Top Loss Reasons by Quantity
- Top Loss Reasons by Occurrences
Example#
Data Breakdown#
| KPI | Description | Formula | Datasource |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yield (%) | Share of processed material that becomes usable output. | (Good units ÷ Total units) × 100 | Material Movement cube |
| Volume In | Total quantity of material that entered a step. | Sum of input volume for the selected period. | WIP History cube |
| Volume Out | Total quantity of material that left a step. | Sum of output volume for the selected period. | WIP History cube |
| Top Loss Reasons by Quantity | Reasons for material losses sorted by weight/volume lost. | Aggregate loss quantity per reason. | MaterialLossBonus data set |
| Top Loss Reasons by Occurrences | Reasons for material losses sorted by number of times they occurred. | Count of loss events per reason. | MaterialLossBonus data set |
Data Visualization#
| Panel | Description | Threshold Values | Datasource |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overview | Displays Yield(%), Volume In and Out for the selected time period. | Yield: Green ≥ 95%, Yellow 90–94%, Red < 90%. Volume thresholds depend on product/material. | Material Movement and WIP History cubes |
| Volume and Yield Over Time | Time-based trends showing both the processed volume and yield percentage. | N/A | Material Movement and WIP History cubes |
| Top Loss Reasons by Quantity | Pie chart of material loss causes by volume. Largest segment identifies the primary source of losses. | N/A | MaterialLossBonus data set |
| Top Loss Reasons by Occurrences | Pie chart of material loss causes by number of occurrences. Largest segment identifies the most frequent issue. | N/A | MaterialLossBonus data set |
| Material Volume and Yield History | Table listing Facility, Area, Step, Step Type, Product Group, Product, Product Group, Material Type, Material Form, Units, Volumes In/Out, Loss Qty, Processed Qty, Yield, Date and Shift. | N/A | Material Movement and WIP History cubes |
