Calculate the yield (number out of step/number into step) of each step. Multiply these together. For example: (# units leaving the process as good parts) / (# units put into the process) = FTY 100 units enter A and 90 leave as good parts. The FTY for process A is 90/100 = 0.9000; 90 units go into B and 80 leave as good parts.
Throughput is rate at which a product is moved through a production process and is consumed by the end-user, usually measured in the form of sales or use statistics. The goal of most organizations is to minimize the investment in inputs as well as operating expenses while increasing throughput of its production systems.
Process optimization is the discipline of adjusting a process so as to make the best or most effective use of some specified set of parameters without violating some constraint. Common goals are minimizing cost and maximizing throughput and/or efficiency. Process optimization is one of the major quantitative tools in industrial decision making.
Throughput Accounting also pays particular attention to the concept of 'bottleneck' (referred to as constraint in the Theory of Constraints) in the manufacturing or servicing processes. Throughput Accounting uses three measures of income and expense: The chart illustrates a typical throughput structure of income (sales) and expenses (TVC and OE).
The operation chart is a graphical and symbolic representation of the manufacturing operations used to produce a product. [1] The operation chart illustrates only the value-adding activities in the manufacturing process; therefore, material handling and storage are not illustrated in this chart. operation chart records the overall picture of process and sequencewise steps of operations.
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.
It is used when observing a physical process, to record actions as they happen, and thus get an accurate description of the process. It is used when analyzing the steps in a process, to help identify and eliminate waste—thus, it is a tool for efficiency planning. It is used when the process is mostly sequential, containing few decisions.
In process improvement, SIPOC or suppliers, inputs, process, outputs and customers (sometimes in the reversed order: COPIS) is a tool that summarizes the inputs and outputs of one or more business processes in table form, with each of the words forming a column in the table used in the analysis.
