| Financial Benefits Categories | A matrix of four quadrants that categorize the types of benefits typically yielded from projects. The categories are determined by two factors: 1) Impact to Cash (direct or indirect), and 2) Impact to the Business (tangible or intangible). The four categories are 1) Direct/Tangible Impact (e.g., increasing revenue, decreasing costs, etc.); 2) Indirect/Tangible Impact (e.g., shift headcount, accelerate cash flow, etc.); 3) Direct/Intangible Impact (e.g., avoid lost revenue, avoid additional costs, etc.); and 4) Indirect/Intangible Impact (e.g., improve customer satisfaction, compliance issues, etc.). |
| First Time Yield (FTY) | A measure of the % of non-defective units successfully output the first time through a process. Subtracting the result from 1.0 (or 100%) will yield the potential waste (defects) in the process that can be eliminated. It is ideally a measurement of the capability at the sub-process level contributing to Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY). |
| Fitted Line Plot | A statistical tool used to test the relationship or correction between two continuous (a.k.a. variable or numerical) values. |
| FMEA Tool | A risk management tool that stands for "Failures, Modes, and Effects Analysis". It's used to track all possible failures in a process, their potential impact and resulting effects, and a plan to mitigate them. It scores and prioritizes all possible failures modes to help mitigate potential risks. |
