# Standard Yields and By-products Dataset

This Excel workbook defines the expected mass balance for major seafood preparation and production processes in the fictional Faroese seafood manufacturing facility.

It contains three worksheets:

* **Yield_Standards** – 25 static yield standards covering raw seafood preparation and major downstream transformations such as smoking, coating, glazing, pickling, salad mixing, and can filling.
* **Byproduct_Master** – 24 defined by-product, residual, reject, and process-loss categories, including both recoverable material and true waste.
* **Yield_Output_Map** – 85 output records showing how each standard input quantity is distributed between main product, by-products, added mass, and processing loss.

The dataset models both mass loss and mass gain. Processes such as trimming and smoking reduce weight, while glazing, coating, brining, sauce addition, and dressing addition can increase finished weight.

The workbook is intended to provide the standard production assumptions needed for later datasets involving raw-material requirements, waste, by-product recovery, production planning, inventory, efficiency analysis, and product costing.
