French term

variance matière

French to English Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting
This occurs in a brief "mission statement" type document for a foundry that produces large cast-iron parts. One of the "themes" of the mission statement is "assurer la rentabilité", and this is broken down into:

- ***Variance matière***
- Prix de revient: X,XX €/kg
- Productivité : XX,X h/tonnes
- Taux de rebut en fonderie et usinage: X,X% du CA

No other context, I'm afraid. Hoping someone has come across this or similar before...

Thanks in advance.

Julie Barber Mar 15, 2007:
actually after seeing that taux de rebut is scrap/(or rejection) rate, + it seems to be a comparison, how about calling your 'variance' a ratio? raw material ratio?
Julie Barber Mar 15, 2007:
costing - (raw) materials?
