Sciemetric

To enable cost savings and production efficiency, manufacturers need to build products right the first time. This makes the first time yield (FTY) metric (which can also be referred to as first pass yield (FPY) or first time through (FTT), etc.), important for your line. Improving FTY has many benefits:

  • cut repair and rework costs
  • reduce bottlenecks on the line
  • boost overall production efficiency
  • deliver quality products

    Sciemetric has helped manufacturers around the world meet production yield goals through a combination of real-time data acquisition, in-process testing and data management and analytics.

    Methods for determining and improving FTY

    While many manufacturers report on yield, performance can become skewed by inefficient re-work or re-testing rates going unnoticed. To improve your manufacturing efficiency, FTY offers an in-depth view of production performance. Learn more about how monitoring first time yield could improve your line with the below resources.
