RFT
Right First Time
TL;DR
The lean / six-sigma metric that combines yield, rework and rejects into a single 'made it correctly the first time' percentage. Cousin of FPY at the batch / order level.
RFT measures the fraction of batches, orders or units that completed without rework, deviation, NCR or rejected lot. Where FPY is unit-level, RFT is more commonly batch-level and is the executive KPI of choice for pharma / supplements / cosmetics where 'batch' is the natural unit.
V5 surfaces RFT per product, per line, per shift, per operator — and ties drops to the underlying deviations / NCRs so the cause is one click away.
