What is Rolled Throughput Yield?
Define
Measure

Improve
Control
• Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY)
is the product of the observed
yields from each step in a
process. It is the probability of
a unit passing through all steps
of a process and incurring no
defects.
• RTY shows the effect of
variation on both rework and
scrap.
• Rework is known as the
“Hidden Factory.”

Control
• Measures the percent of product that goes through the
process without being scraped or reworked.
• Reworks within an operation have no value and comprise
what is termed “The Hidden Factory!”
• Is the yield calculated below a RTY?
Yield = Amount of Material Exiting Process
Amount of Material Entering Process
• No! It is an overall yield of scrapped product, it ignores
rework.

Defective Units versus Defects per Unit
Define
Measure

Control
• If you can count the number of defective units after
each process step, then you can calculate RTY as
RTY = FPY1 x FPY2 x FPYN
N = number of process steps
• If you can only count the number of defects after each
step, then you must estimate the Frist Pass Yield using
the Poisson approximation
FPY = e-dpu
where dpu is the average defect per process step

Mr. Poisson
Based on the Poisson distribution
Y = e–dpu
“e” is a constant 2.718281828…
The natural log (ln) of this constant is 1.
If the number of defects per unit is known, RTY can be
calculated.

e-dpu provides a good approximation!
Define
Measure
Analyze
Y = e–dpu
Y = Yield
e = 2.718281828…
dpu = defect per unit
In Microsoft Excel,
the EXP function
returns e raised to
the nth power, where
e = 2.71828183.

• If Braun is batting .500 what does that mean?
• What would a RTY of 50% indicate?
• Answer: 50% of product made it through the process
without being scrapped or reworked.
• If RTY = 50%, how much product would be scrapped
versus reworked?
• Answer: We don’t know just from the single RTY number.
