# Scrap Information

## Overview

The **Scrap Information** dashboard provides insights about **Material** losses in the system. It supports production analysis, identification of recurring scrap causes, and prioritization of areas with the most significant impact on material yield.

## Folder

Quality.

## Database

- **DWH** (queried via OData).

## Data

- **Top Material Losses**  
- **Top Loss Reasons**  

## Example

## Data Breakdown

| KPI | Description | Formula | Datasource |
| --- | ----------- | ------- | ---------- |
| **Top Loss Reasons** | Most frequent causes of losses by quantity. | Sum of loss quantity (`Change_PrimaryQty`) grouped by reason (`Change_Reason`). | `MaterialLossBonus` table in [[dataplatform-dataset-materiallossbonus]] |
| **Top Material Losses** | Materials with the highest total absolute loss quantity. | Sum of loss quantity (`Change_PrimaryQty`) grouped by material (`Material_Name`). | `MaterialLossBonus` table in [[dataplatform-dataset-materiallossbonus]] |

## Data Visualization

| Panel | Description | Threshold Values | Datasource |
|-------|-------------|------------------|------------|
| **Top Loss Reasons** | Horizontal bar and cumulative line chart showing the top loss reasons. | The highest-ranking bar is highlighted in red. Bars above the 80% cumulative threshold highlight the reasons with the most impact. | `MaterialLossBonus` table in [[dataplatform-dataset-materiallossbonus]] |
| **Top Material Losses** | Horizontal bar and cumulative line chart showing the top materials by scrap quantity.| The highest-ranking bar is highlighted in red. Bars above the 80% cumulative threshold highlight the materials with the most impact. | `MaterialLossBonus` table in [[dataplatform-dataset-materiallossbonus]] |
| **History View** | Breakdown of all reported losses, including Date, Shift, Facility, Area, Step, Material, Type, Form, Loss Reason, and Loss Quantity. | N/A | `MaterialLossBonus` table in [[dataplatform-dataset-materiallossbonus]] |
