The Lawson M3 Yield Optimizer (YOP) is ideal for production units that use reverse bills of material or recipes, particularly when they produce co- or by-products. YOP calculates the most profitable way to process raw materials or ingredients to meet demand. The input data includes supply quantities and prices, demand quantities and sales prices, production costs and capacities, and inventory costs and capacities. The output is an optimized day-by-day production schedule of what to produce and how to produce it. The inventory levels at the end of each day and any requirements to move raw materials or semi-finished products between sites are also calculated.
