... by using statistical design of experiments. Taguchi methods provide a systematic approach to a better understanding of the process and assist industrial engineers to discover the key process or design parameters (or variables) which affect the critical product/process characteristics (Kolarik, 1995...

...Jiju Antony; Frenie Jiju Antony The Taguchi method (Tm) is a powerful problem solving technique for improving process performance, yield and productivity. It reduces scrap rates, rework costs and manufacturing costs due to excessive variability in processes. However, its application by industrial...
