    Taguchi DOE is an engineering methodology developed by Genichi Taguchi to improve quality through robust design of products and processes. It uses orthogonal arrays to study multiple parameters with fewer experiments. The process involves 3 stages: 1) System design to determine materials and design factors, 2) Parameter design to optimize control factors making the system robust to noise factors, 3) Tolerance design to avoid overtightening tolerances which increases costs. Orthogonal arrays are used to systematically vary control factor levels while accounting for noise. Signal-to-noise ratios are calculated from experimental results to determine optimal levels that minimize variability from noise factors. Taguchi methods aim to produce high quality, robust products at low cost.

    History
    • Since 1960 Taguchi method used improving
    Japanese product.
    • 1980s  becomes importance.

    • Old method Inspection Vs. Design


    Improvement
    Robust Design
    • “engineering methodology for improving
    productivity during research and development so
    that high-quality products can be produced
    quickly and at low cost”(Phadke, 1989).

    • Minimize the effect of variation without


    eliminating the causes.

    • robust design, a design that has minimum


    sensitivity to variations in uncontrollable factors.
    Taguchi Quality Loss Function
    • Famous Story ( Sony US Vs. Sony Japan)
    • Color Density ( “m: Target”±5)

    US focus on meeting the tolerance while Japan focus on meeting the target

    Average Loss Function
    The average loss function when N units produced will be:


    L  k S     m
    2 2

    S 2 : variance
    Taguchi suggests a three-
    : mean stage process:
    monitor the process variables during • System design
    production and adjust the process to reduce • Parameter design
    manufacturing imperfections so that response • Tolerance design.
    parameters fall within the specified tolerances
    But this add cost to manufacturing
    System Design
    • System design stage is where new ideas,
    concepts and knowledge in the areas of
    science and technology are utilized by the
    design team to determine the right
    combination of materials, parts, processes an
    design factors that will satisfy functional and
    economical specifications.
    Tolerance Design
    • Most Engineers tend to make tight tolerance
    which means higher cost.

    • tightening the tolerances increases the cost of


    the product or process because it requires
    better materials, components, or machinery
    to achieve the tighter tolerances as we
    discussed in earlier chapters.
    Parameter Design
    • Parameter design is related to finding the
    appropriate design factor levels

    • make the system less sensitive to variations in


    uncontrollable noise factors, i.e., to make the
    system robust.
    How to use Taguchi in Parameter design

    • Control factors are those factors which can


    easily be controlled ( material selection, cycle
    time, mold temperature)

    • Noise factors are factors that are difficult or


    impossible or too expensive to control.
    – Inner noise
    – Outer noise
    – In between production noise
    Example of noise
    Orthogonal Array
    Employed by Taguchi Method: Systematically vary levels
    L4 , L9 , L12 Common Ones
    DOE-Taguchi
    • #experiments is obtained by combining the L9
    array of control factors (the outer array) with
    the L8 array of noise factors (the inner array).

    Then what SN
    • After calculating SN based on your context:
    1. SN ratios and average responses are plotted
    for each factor against each of its levels.

    2. Pick the factor level which (1) best maximize


    SN and (2) bring the mean on target (or
    maximize or minimize the mean, as the case
    may be).
    Example Manually (hand calculation)
    • case study “The Taguchi Approach to Parameter Design,”
    by D. M. Byrne and S. Taguchi, Quality Progress, Dec. 1987,
    pp. 19 26.

    • “The experiment that is being conducted seeks to


    determine a method to assemble an elastometric
    connector to a nylon tube while delivering the requisite
    pull-off performance suitable for an automotive
    engineering application. The primary design objective is to
    maximize the pull-off force while secondary
    considerations are made to minimize assembly effort and
    reduce the cost of the connector and assembly.”
