Material Usage
The Material Usage window provides a summary of the amount of material used, excess material, and material requirements for each material component of a job. All calculations are based upon the current job. Material usage statistics are primarily based upon net pieces or gross pieces, part weight, and a job's standard multiplier. The handling of reject parts, whether runners are re-fed, determines whether usage and excess material calculations must take shot size into consideration.
There is one line of information for each material component attached to the current running job on a machine. The window's information can be filtered by display group, machine state, and material component. The color of each line reflects machine states. See the Machine State Colors on-line help section for color-coding.
