Waste Factors
The waste factor is a user-defined fractional value that represents how much waste is generated for an item during its usage or production. For example, if hamburgers have a waste factor of 0.1, then for every 10 hamburgers, one is wasted. So if ten hamburgers are required, supplies for 11 hamburgers should be ordered. Users have the ability to create a waste factor and can also edit an existing waste factor.
