# Raw Material Loss Report

### **Report Module Guide: Raw Material Loss Report**

#### **Module Location**

#### Production > Reports > Raw Material Loss Report

#### **Module Objective**

#### The **Raw Material Loss Report** module is used to generate an analytical report that details the level of **losses** or **waste** of raw materials during the production process. This report compares actual material usage with the standard (BOM) and identifies the sources of loss at various stages.

### **1. Report Parameters (Filter)**

#### The main page of this module is a form containing various parameters to customize the report that will be generated.

#### Here is an explanation for each parameter:

- #### **Period**: Specify the production date range in the **From** and **To** fields for which you want to analyze the loss.
- #### **Machine**: Select **All** to see all machines, or **Machine Code** to focus on one specific machine.
- #### **Category**: Filter the report for a specific product category.

### **2. Steps to Generate the Report**

#### **Step 1: Set Report Parameters**

#### Define the **Period** and other relevant filters.

#### **Step 2: Generate the Report**

#### After all parameters are set, click one of the two buttons at the bottom:

- #### **\[Display Report\]**: To preview the report directly on your screen.
- #### **\[Export to MS Excel\]**: To download the report data in an Excel file format.

### **3. Reading the Report (Report Content)**

#### The generated report is a detailed analysis of material loss, grouped by product item and production date/shift.

#### **Key Column Explanation**

- #### **RM Usage vs. Finish Goods**: Compares the total raw materials used with the total finished goods produced.
- #### **Over weight (%)**: The percentage of excess weight (material usage > standard).
- #### **Waste Columns**: Details the loss percentage at various stages (e.g., Waste Biscuit, Waste Sandwich).
- #### **Non Detection (%)**: The percentage of loss that was undetected or unclassified.
- #### **RM Losses (%)**: The total percentage of raw material loss.

### **Tips & Important Notes**

- #### This report is a crucial **material efficiency analysis tool**, complementing the Report on Raw Materials / Supporting Materials Used.
- #### Focus on items or shifts with a high percentage of **Over weight, Waste, and RM Losses** for further investigation.
- #### This is a crucial report for **Production Managers, Production Supervisors, and the Continuous Improvement team** to identify and reduce waste.
