Periodically assessing material losses to optimise operations

Why calculate the company's material loss rate? Prevention is better than cure: that is the idea behind this action. Calculating the material loss rate is essential. This exercise helps reveal the material flow, including yield and loss. Carrying out monitoring enables: - Cost savings: Lower material losses often mean lower costs in terms of raw materials and production. This can bring financial savings for the company while reducing pressure on natural resources. - Compliance with environmental regulations: In many regions, companies are subject to strict regulations on waste management and emissions reduction. By optimising loss rates, the company can improve its compliance with the environmental standards in force. - Encouragement of innovation: The search for solutions to reduce material losses can stimulate innovation within the company. Process optimisation can lead to the adoption of cleaner and more efficient technologies, thereby fostering ecological innovation How to calculate the loss rate? To calculate the loss rate, two values are needed: - The quantity of the product before handling - The quantity after preparation The loss rate calculation is therefore: Quantity of material lost = weight of raw material - weight of material after preparation
