1. A method for determining whether or not to edit waste from a roll of printed web product using a reel editor, the method comprising:
receiving, from a vision system module of a manufacturing process, a control plan associated with the roll of printed web product, wherein each roll of printed web product is associated with a unique control plan, wherein the control plan comprises roll data that includes order data and waste data, wherein the waste data indicates one or more waste sections on the roll of printed web product, wherein each of the one or more waste sections corresponds to at least one of waste on the roll of printed web product or unsatisfactory images that are printed on the roll of printed web product, wherein the order data corresponds to one or more printed orders on the roll of printed web product and includes at least one of cost associated with processing material for the order, customer data associated with the roll of printed web product, desired quality data associated with the roll of printed web product, or pricing data associated with the roll of printed web product;
determining, by a processor, an amount of waste on the roll of printed web product based on the waste data of the control plan;
determining, based on the order data of the control plan, a waste tolerance threshold for the roll of printed web product;
determining if the determined amount of waste satisfies the determined waste tolerance threshold for the roll of printed web product; and
in an instance in which the determined amount of waste satisfies the determined waste tolerance threshold for the roll of printed web product, providing an instruction to not edit the roll of printed web product at the reel editor such that no waste is removed via the reel editor.
