Materials Yield System

Objective

To provide manufacturers and distributors in the Plastics, Steel, Rubber, Paper and Lumber industries with the ability to maximize yields, minimize waste, and return tracked remnants to inventory.

Many manufacturing and distribution facilities sell materials according to customer-specific dimensional requirements. This means that a customer does not often purchase a standard size that is in stock, but instead orders a custom size. This requires a supplier to yield and cut material from existing inventory, another branch’s inventory, purchase material from a vendor, or do a combination of each. This type of order typically leads to off-cuts (remnants) being created during the cutting operation. Depending on the type of material being cut, the remnants may have a value and would need to be returned to inventory without having to manually create a new part number each time.
