Question

A common process-level measurement,extensively used in Six Sigma environments,is _____ - the probability that a unit can pass through a series of process steps without defects.
A)zero defects
B)zero deviance
C)rolled throughput yield
D)normalized yield

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rolled throughput yield (RTY) is a popular process-level measurement used in Six Sigma methodologies to measure the probability of a unit passing through a series of process steps without any defects. It takes into account both the individual yield rates of each step and the dependencies between them. It is calculated by multiplying the individual yield rates of each step. RTY can be used to identify process improvement opportunities, prioritize improvement efforts, and assess the impact of process changes. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Options A, B, and D do not accurately describe this process-level measurement.
