Generation

**Material yield** is the percentage of raw material that successfully becomes usable finished product—for example, if you start with 100 pounds of steel and end up with 85 pounds of finished parts, your yield is 85%. **Scrap rate** is essentially the flip side: it's the percentage of material that's wasted or discarded during production, whether due to defects, trimming, or processing losses. In the example above, your scrap rate would be 15%. These two metrics always add up to 100% and are crucial for calculating material costs, since you need to buy enough raw material to account for what will inevitably be lost during manufacturing.
