Planning example- Customer quantity
- 5,000
- Start the run with
- 5,425
- Extra allowance
- +425
| Operation | In | Scrap | Good out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Printing 4% | 5,425 | 217 | 5,208 |
| Converting 3% | 5,208 | 157 | 5,051 |
| Finishing 1% | 5,051 | 51 | 5,000 |
Adjust the assumption to see the starting quantity change. Track actual losses to compare good output with the order.

Work needs context.
A packaging run starts with a promise: the right format, artwork, quantity, and delivery date. Changes need to reach sales, planning, production, and quality together.
Keep each next step
in the same story.
Build around your process, with the right information for each stakeholder.
Plan the production run
Group work by format and production requirements. Plan the extra starting quantity needed to cover expected loss at printing, converting, and finishing.
Reconcile and deliver
Record input, scrap, rework, and accepted output at each operation. Reconcile actual merma against the planned allowance before dispatch.
