公式
Formula: Reduction% = (Before − After) / Before × 100. Waste/Unit = After Waste / Production Units. Cost Savings = (Before − After) × Cost/kg.
常见问题
What types of waste can this calculate?
Any measurable waste in kg: material scrap, rejected parts, overproduction waste, or packaging waste.
How do I find waste cost per kg?
Use the raw material price per kg or the total disposal/treatment cost per kg of waste generated.
What reduction percentage is a good target?
Lean targets typically aim for 20–50% waste reduction per improvement cycle. World-class operations target near-zero waste.
