• Key Concepts: 
  Speed loss is a term used in SAP Manufacturing Performance Management (MFG-MPM). It is a measure of the difference between the planned production rate and the actual production rate. It is calculated by dividing the planned production rate by the actual production rate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Speed loss can be used to identify areas of improvement in production processes. It can be used to compare different production lines or processes and identify which ones are performing better or worse than expected. It can also be used to identify potential bottlenecks in the production process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When analyzing speed loss, it is important to consider other factors such as machine downtime, operator efficiency, and material availability. These factors can have a significant impact on speed loss and should be taken into account when analyzing the data. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Speed loss is closely related to other performance metrics such as cycle time, throughput, and yield. These metrics can provide additional insight into the performance of a production process and should be considered when analyzing speed loss.
