Production Yield Reporting

Track expected vs. actual yield, scrap, and shortfall per work order automatically. Spot declining yield trends and trace them back to specific lots and runs.

What is production yield reporting?

Production yield reporting compares planned output against what a work order actually produced, automatically surfacing scrap and shortfall so process issues get caught early.

Turn Every Build Into a Data Point

StockFlow calculates yield automatically from each recorded build against its bill of materials, so you get a real trend line instead of reconstructing numbers from memory. Pair it with our manufacturing waste reduction guide to act on what the data shows.

Yield Reporting Features

Expected vs. Actual Yield

See planned quantity against actual output for every work order, automatically calculated from your BOM.

Scrap & Shortfall Tracking

Capture scrap and shortfall at the point of build recording, not reconstructed later from memory.

Yield Trends Over Time

Spot a declining yield trend on a specific product or process before it becomes a recurring cost.

Traceable to Lots & Runs

Trace a low-yield result back to the exact lot, run, and inputs that produced it.

No manual spreadsheet yield calculations
Trace low yield to the responsible lot or run
See yield trends across products and time
Reduce scrap and manufacturing waste
Tie yield data directly to your BOM and work orders
Support continuous improvement with real numbers
Included with the StockFlow Production module

Frequently asked questions

What is production yield reporting?
Production yield reporting compares the quantity you planned to build in a work order against what was actually produced, surfacing scrap, shortfall, or overproduction so you can spot process issues before they eat into margin.
How is yield calculated?
Yield is typically the ratio of good units produced to units planned or to raw materials consumed. StockFlow calculates this automatically per work order from the recorded build against the bill of materials, without manual spreadsheet math.
Can I see yield trends across multiple work orders?
Yes. StockFlow's production yield report aggregates results across work orders, lots, and time periods so you can spot a declining trend on a specific product or process before it becomes a recurring loss.
Does yield reporting connect to lot tracking?
Yes. Yield results are tied to the lots produced in each work order, so you can trace a low-yield batch back to the specific inputs, operator, or run that caused it.
Is yield reporting part of the Production module?
Yes. Yield reporting is included with work orders and build recording in the StockFlow Production module, included free on Professional and above, or available as a low-cost add-on.
Can yield data help reduce manufacturing waste?
Yes. By showing exactly where and how often yield falls short, teams can target the specific process step or material causing waste instead of guessing at broad efficiency improvements.
