		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Multiple operations</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If multiple operations in a routing have a yield below 100%, the effect is increased with each operation. For example, three consecutive operations having a yield of 90% result in an overall yield of 72.9% (= 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 100%).</Paragraph>
