into it.
2. Quality is best achieved by minimizing the deviation
from a target
ORTHOGONAL ARRAYS
L9 orthogonal array
For N replications
Data Analysis
In the Taguchi method the results of the experiments are analyzed to achieve
the following objectives:
(1) to establish the best or optimal condition for the product or process,
(2) to establish the contribution of individual factors, and
(3) to estimate the response under optimal conditions
Methodologies in carrying out the complete orthogonal array
analysis:
1. ANOVA
2. S/N ratio
S/N ratio
Nominal is best
Smaller is
better
Larger is
better
The average S/N value is calculated for each factor and level
Advantages
Taguchi method is that, it emphasizes a mean performance
Disadvantages
orthogonal arrays do not test all variable combinations,
smaller is better
Design parameters
Experimental results
ANOVA
analysis
N eff = 3.8571
CI = 0.00595
CONCLUSION
An advantage of the Taguchi method is that it emphasizes a mean performance
characteristic value close to the target value rather than a value within certain
specification limits, thus improving the product quality.
Taguchi's method for experimental design is straight forward and easy to apply to
