Material Usage

Description

In most manufacturing processes, some material is attributed to feed systems and defective parts, which may be recycled. Calculate the total amount of raw material required, based on such parameters as the part weight, defect rate, and parts per cycle. Other useful weight calculations are provided as well, including the shot weight, material yield per cycle, scrap weight, and the weight of the parts and waste material.
