Broke Management
Broke Management

Every broke kilogram.
Classified. Recovered.

Promoted from sub-feature to dedicated module — broke (paper waste) tracking, classification, root-cause analysis, repulping recovery, and Pareto analytics to systematically reduce waste at every stage.

Broke Capture

Where, why, how much.

Log every broke event with source (wet-end, dry-end, calender, winder, converting), grade, weight, reason. Capture happens at point-of-occurrence via shop floor or mobile.

  • Capture at point of occurrence
  • Mobile-enabled shop floor entry
  • Source + grade + reason classification
  • Per-shift, per-machine tracking
  • Photo evidence support
  • Auto-link to producing work order
Repulping & Recovery
Repulping & Recovery

Repulping & Recovery

Waste back into furnish.

Track repulping operations — broke routed back into pulp prep, recovery percentage per type, recipe-specific re-blending rules.

  • Repulping batch tracking
  • Recovery % per broke type
  • Grade-specific re-blend rules
  • Material balance reconciliation
  • Cost recovery vs disposal
  • Inventory tracking for broke stock
Pareto Analytics
Pareto Analytics

Pareto Analytics

Find the 20% causing 80%.

Pareto charts by source, grade, shift, machine, root cause. Surface the top broke contributors so improvement projects target the right problems.

  • Multi-dimensional Pareto charts
  • Trend over weeks/months
  • Drill-down to root cause
  • Cost impact per source
  • Comparative analysis (shift A vs B)
  • Auto-flag emerging patterns

Point-of-Occurrence Capture

Log broke the moment it happens — via shop floor terminal, mobile app, or operator entry. No batch-end reconciliation surprises.

Drill in

Source Classification

Pre-defined sources: wet-end, dry-end, calender, slitter, winder, converting, off-spec, off-grade. Drives root-cause analytics.

Drill in

Recovery % per Type

Different broke types have different recovery characteristics. Track recovery rate per type to optimize repulping mix.

Drill in

Pareto Analytics

Multi-dimensional Pareto — by source, grade, shift, machine, root cause. Find your 20% that causes 80% of waste.

Drill in

Per-Grade Targets

Configurable broke targets per grade and machine. Variance flagged automatically; teams accountable for hitting targets.

Drill in

Trend Analysis

Week-over-week, month-over-month broke trends. Identify whether improvement projects are actually working.

Drill in

Emerging Pattern Detection

ML watches for emerging patterns — sudden spike in specific source/grade combo flags before it becomes systemic.

Drill in

Cost Impact

Translate kilos to rupees. Broke cost per source = material + conversion + recovery loss. Makes the business case clear.

Drill in

Mobile Capture

Operators log broke from mobile at the source. Photos attached for visual evidence; works offline with sync.

Integrations

Works with everything else.

Every Broke Mgmt action flows into the other modules — no manual data re-entry, no reconciliation pain.
