In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example

Waste Reduction Percentage tracks how efficiently a manufacturing process minimizes waste during production. For example, if a factory reduces waste from 10% to 5%, the waste reduction percentage is 50%. This is calculated by comparing the amount of waste produced before and after a specific improvement. Waste reduction helps companies lower costs, optimize resource usage, and contribute to environmental sustainability. By identifying and eliminating inefficiencies, businesses can reduce raw material consumption, lower disposal costs, and improve overall profitability.
