Yield, Improvement and Sustaining High Yield

Chapter 36 in Operational Excellence, 2016, pp 163-166 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Yield improvement holds within it the potential for major saving of cash for the company. Yield improvement is also an important quality objective and an opportunity for operations to excel. This chapter recommends tools such as weekly Prato and yield analysis meetings, as well as yield charts of major yield heater trends and planning the right timing and the precise practices to bring yield improvements along the product’s life cycle. While product volumes are low, we have a short window of opportunity in which we can improve the yield without causing a high financial hit. A yield sustain, after production is stabilized, is an opportunity for empowerment and development of the production people towards driving and fulfilling the engineering yield improvement responsibilities.
