History
• Since 1960 Taguchi method used improving
Japanese product.
• 1980s becomes importance.
US focus on meeting the tolerance while Japan focus on meeting the target

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.
