Fehlentscheidungen durch fehlende Transparenz über Ausschussquoten und Materialkreisläufe

Definition

Australian plastics ERP vendors highlight that keeping track of wastage and scrap is necessary to "provide better profitability" and that fully integrated MRP and inventory systems improve work order management and component tracking.[3] Recycling‑technology providers stress that residual products are valuable raw material and that advanced systems preserve the full value of the material while minimising labour and energy use.[4] LOGIC: When scrap and regrind flows are not accurately captured, standard costs understate true material usage, and management misjudges which parts, tools, or customers are profitable. This leads to accepting low‑margin or loss‑making work, under‑charging for high‑scrap jobs, and over‑investing in virgin material stock. For a plant with AUD 3–8 million per year in material and related overhead, a 3–6% misallocation due to poor scrap visibility corresponds to AUD 90,000–480,000 annually in avoidable cost or lost margin.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Plastics manufacturing players in Australia 🇦🇺 misallocate 3–6% of their materials and capacity budget annually because scrap, regrind recovery, and yield are not visible in real time. Automation of scrap data capture, inventory integration, and profitability analytics converts this loss into margin.
