    Hello tutor

    I would like like to know how to calculate the yield variance if there are multiple product

    I commonly use a formula

    SQSP
    AQ(SM)SP – these two for finding yield variances

    AQ(SM)SP — these two for mix
    AQSP

    however, there is another formula
    actual yield X
    st yield at act output X

    (X) multiply with with st rate

    I am confused with this, how to calculate the rate if there are two products, and question gets much harder especially when they says there is a wastage of 5% for example

    Please help me tutor I need to understand this

    Have you not watched my free lectures on this, because I explain the ‘rules’ and the reasoning in my lectures?

    You cannot simply learn formula to pass Paper PM. If mix and yield variances are asked then in Section C there will always be written parts to check that you really understand what is happening.

    Mix and yield variances occur when there are multiple materials used – not when there are multiple products!

    If you watch my lectures then I explain how to calculate the yield variance (and you cannot expect me to type out all of my lectures here 🙂 )
