Worksheet 56. Optimum Rolled Throughput Yields

RTY Optimum
RTY Actual

Actual-Optimum Gap

Project RTY Goal

Things to consider:
• How large are the gaps among the optimum RTY, the actual RTY, and the project’s
goal RTY?

• Would we need a breakthrough project if the process operated at optimum?
• The RTY cannot be better than the lowest yield for all product features or process
steps. Use this fact to help allocate project resources. For example, would
optimizing a subset of CTx’s achieve the project’s goals at lower cost?
