RE: Scrap Factor
Scrap caused by non-conforming part itself (not reworkable). Setup Error/Materials Conformance/Process error.
Scrap caused by mis-handling.
Scrap caused by incorporating a good component into what turns out to be a non-conforming assembly (not reworkable).
Scrap caused by obsolescence due to an Engineering change.
This may be a start for you. Others posters will have additional information. Are you looking for generic information or could you be a bit more detailed on your query?
