First-pass yield (FPY).
the share of output that clears QC with no rework
The share of units that pass quality control with no rework, first time through. It is the output-side twin of rework rate: rework rate counts the cost of failure, first-pass yield counts the rate of success, and the two numbers diverge whenever rework itself is slow or expensive to run.
