Understanding Rolled Throughput Yield

Rolled throughput yield is a measure of the probability that a multi-step process will produce a defect-free product by calculating the product of the yields for each step. It quantifies the cumulative effects of inefficiencies throughout the entire production process. Rolled throughput yield and rolled throughput yield loss are metrics often used in Six Sigma to improve overall process efficiency and quality.

Rolled throughput yield

Rolled throughput yield (RTY)[1] in production economics is the probability that a process with more
than one step will produce a defect free unit. It is the product of yields for each process step of the entire
process.

For any process, it is ideal for that process to produce its product without defects and without rework.
Rolled throughput yield quantifies the cumulative effects of inefficiencies found throughout the process.
Rolled throughput yield and rolled throughput yield loss (RTYL) are often used in Six Sigma.[2]
