The first 15 minutes

20–35% of monthly scrap happens in the first 15 minutes of a run — setup and changeover errors. If you only fix one thing, start there.

Correlate, don’t guess

The hidden cost of poor quality typically runs 15–20% of revenue. Correlating hundreds of process variables against quality outcomes ranks the real drivers, instead of chasing the loudest complaint.

The templates

The toolkit includes ready-to-use SPC control charts, a 5-Whys worksheet, a Fishbone diagram and a Pareto template — each with a worked manufacturing example.

From template to model

Templates find the obvious causes. Machine-learning correlation finds the combinations humans miss — for example narrowing 718 variables down to the 10 that drive most scrap, explaining 83% of the variance.

FAQ

Where does most scrap come from?

A large share — 20–35% — occurs in the first 15 minutes of a run, from setup and changeover errors.

Do I need to label data?

No heavy labeling. Correlation works from your existing process and quality records.

What result can we expect?

Teams typically pinpoint the few parameters driving most scrap and adjust them to raise first-pass yield.
