Articles #Comprehensive Guide to Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY)

Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY) is a key performance metric used in Lean Six Sigma and process improvement initiatives to assess the overall quality of a production process. It measures the probability that a unit will pass through a series of production steps without defects or rework. RTY is crucial for understanding the cumulative impact of individual process steps on the final yield and helps organizations pinpoint inefficiencies, reduce waste, and improve quality. This article covers the definition of RTY, how it is calculated, its importance in continuous improvement, and strategies for its improvement.
