Formel
Formula: FPY = (Total − Defective) / Total × 100%. RTY = FPY^n (for n equal process steps).
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is First Pass Yield?
FPY is the percentage of units that pass through a process without requiring rework or rejection on the first attempt.
What is Rolled Throughput Yield?
RTY is the probability that a unit passes through all process steps without any defect. It compounds FPY across multiple steps.
Why does RTY matter?
RTY reveals hidden factory costs. A 95% FPY over 10 steps gives only 60% RTY, showing significant waste even with apparently high single-step yields.
