... variations. Analysis of various critical process parameters of the melt shop is also carried out with the help of Taguchi's method of experimental design. Findings The proposed techniques optimized control factors, resulting in superior quality and stability of the green sand castings process, which...

.... Customer satisfaction Gap analysis Importance sampling Performance measurement (quality) Taguchi methods Quality From the late 1980s, several quality management systems were sequentially established. The customer satisfaction topic became the main index for organisational performance in many...

...John G. Vlachogiannis; Ranjit K. Roy Purpose The aim of the paper is the fine‐tuning of proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers under model parameter uncertainties (noise). Design/methodology/approach The fine‐tuning of PID controllers achieved using the Taguchi method following...

... production costs for a specified level of quality. We propose to compare both approaches: traditional and inertial tolerancing. Taguchi methods Statistical tolerance levels Production costs Let us study the extreme situations of acceptance in the case of inertial tolerancing. Inertia can increase...

...Hefin Rowlands; Jiju Antony; Graeme Knowles Dr Taguchi is a Japanese engineer and an international quality consultant who has made breakthrough improvements in product and process quality through the use of statistical design of experiments (SDOE). The Taguchi method became popular in the West...

... deployment Taguchi methods The total cost of (1), (2), and (3) has been denoted C_tot, which is an estimate of the potential intangible cost due to a dissatisfied customer that leaves the company. Actual intangible PQCs, based on the estimate of potential costs (C_tot...

... means that products “perform their intended functions regardless of customer‐imposed usage environments,manufacturing variations, variation imposed by suppliers, and degradation over the useful product life”[ 2 ]. Two important techniques for producing robust products are the Taguchi methods...

... their optimal levels. While doing this, a unique method was evolved. It marries analytical hierarchy processes with Taguchi methods to overcome limited availability of predictor variable combinations. The method has general applicability in social sciences. 1 All changes made must be reported after...

...Ian Ferguson Shows how to translate the voice of the customer into design processes. Asserts it is esential to apply design tools at the earliest possible stage in the product development cycle. Examines the role of quality function deployment and barometer design using Taguchi methods in designing...
