Abstract

Yield should be equally considered alongside usage rate and monetary value when managing materials. The precise impact that good yield management (or the lack of it) has on a company will vary from business to business depending on the sensitivity to variations in yield achievement. In order to be effectively managed, production yield performance must be planned and controlled, and this can only be achieved if accurate yield information is available to management. Yield performance data should be collected from each and every stage of the manufacturing process for which it is determined to be measurable, then analysed and comparisons made with established yield standards. The information should be presented to management as “exception reports”, thus emphasising priorities.
