Taguchi Method

The document discusses the Taguchi Method, which is a design of experiments approach for improving product quality. It uses signal-to-noise ratios to optimize the product or process design factors in the presence of noise. There are three categories of signal-to-noise ratios: smaller-the-better, larger-the-better, and nominal-the-best. The Taguchi Method aims to make the product or process robust and deliver consistent performance even under varying conditions.

Introduction
Taguchi method

 A new engineering design optimization methodology that improves the quality of existing
products and processes
 makes the product and process robust and is also called as ROBUST DESIGN
 A basis for determining the functional relationship between controllable product or service
design factors and the outcomes of a process.
Signal to Noise ratio
▪ Signal to noise ratio used for predicting the product quality

S/N = amount of energy for intended / amount of energy wasted

▪ Signal to noise ratio is used to make product/ process robust against noise
factors
Signal to Noise ratio
▪ Control factors (signals) are those design and process parameters that can be controlled.
▪ Noise factors cannot be controlled during production of product; controlled during experiment
▪ to get the desired result (higher S/N ratio) identify optimal control factors that not only increase
the Quality but also reduce Noise

▪ Product with this goal (higher S/N ratio) will deliver

more consistent performance even in extreme conditions


Categories of threat optimization
Taguchi Method treats optimization problems in two categories:
▪ Static problem
• Dynamic problem
Static problem (batch process optimization)
There are 3 Signal-to-Noise ratios of common interest for optimization of Static problems;

▪ Smaller – the – best : n = -10log10 [mean of sum of squares of measured data]

This is usually the chosen S/N ratio for all undesirable characteristics like " defects " etc. for which
the ideal value is zero.

▪ Larger- the – better: n = -10log10 [ mean of sum squares of reciprocal of measured data]

This case has been converted to SMALLER-THE-BETTER by taking the reciprocals of measured
data

▪ Nominal- the- best: n =10 log10 Square of mean/variance

This case arises when a specified value is MOST desired, meaning that neither a smaller nor a
larger value is desirable
e.g. most parts in mechanical fittings have dimensions which are nominal-the-best type
Quality characteristics
Quality characteristic of a product varies in two ways:
▪ First, it differs from another of the same kind
▪ Second, it differs from the desired (target) value.
Typical quality distribution
• the average value of the parameter deviates from the
target value; the range of value (variation) is also
excessive

• shows the average on-target, but the variation is still


excessive
• the desired characteristic—on target and with narrow
variation.
Taguchi’s quality strategy
▪ Optimizing the design of the product/process (system approach).
▪ Making the design insensitive to the influence of uncontrollable
factors (robustness).
