Yield

Yield in Six Sigma is a classic process performance estimate. Calculate yield by using the equation below.

Yield = Output / Input

= 100% - [Scrap Rate]

EX: 20 parts with critical errors in random sample of 400 parts

Scrap Rate = 20/ 400 * 100% = 5%

Yield = 95 %

A preferred metric is the throughput yield
