Explanation: First-Pass Yield (FPY)

In industrial production, the term "First-Pass Yield" (FPY) refers to the proportion of products that go through a manufacturing process the first time without rework or scrap. Manufacturing companies use the "FPY value" to determine how efficiently and error-free a production process works. Well-controlled processes have a high FPY value, while errors and problems cause a low FPY value.
