Society of Manufacturing Engineers, 1990 - 247 sayfa
A clear, simple and essentially non-mathematical presentation, this practical guide introduces you to the basic concepts, techniques and applications of the renowned Taguchi approach. A Primer on the Taguchi Method introduces the fundamental concepts of Taguchi experimental design and shows engineers how to design, analyze, and interpret experiments using the Taguchi approach for a wide range of common products and processes. Written for manufacturing and production engineers, as well as design engineers and managers, this book explains the most practical ways to apply the Taguchi approach. The Taguchi approach to quality: the power of the Taguchi approach shows how it can be applied to an array of products from automobiles to computers. Learn the extraordinary benefits of building quality into the design, the heart of the Taguchi technique. Numerous real-world examples will help you see how the Taguchi Method works in a variety of manufacturing applications.For those who need a more rigorous statistical treatment, the book's working appendices provide full mathematical details on orthogonal arrays, triangular tables and linear graphs, plus fully worked solutions to problems presented in the example case studies.

Sayfa 7 - ... money was expended in engineering experimentation and testing. Little emphasis was given to the process of creative brainstorming to minimize the expenditure of resources. Dr. Taguchi started to develop new methods to optimize the process of engineering experimentation. He developed techniques that are now known as the Taguchi Methods. His greatest contribution lies not in the mathematical formulation of the design of experiments, but rather in the accompanying philosophy. His approach is more...
Sayfa 8 - Reproduced by permission. approach is more than a method to lay out experiments. His is a concept that has produced a unique and powerful quality improvement discipline that differs from traditional practices. These concepts are: 1 . Quality should be designed into the product and not inspected into it. 2. Quality is best achieved by minimizing the deviation from a target. The product should be so designed that it is immune to uncontrollable environmental factors. 3 . The cost of quality should be...
Sayfa 42 - ... theater use music to support the action on stage and to help create mood. Music also helps to create atmosphere in films and many television programs. Music has its own written language, or score, made up of symbols and notes. Different musical notes are used to indicate the length of a sound. Notes are represented by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. These letters or notes are marked on a stave, which is a set of five parallel lines. The position of a note on the stave indicates whether the...
Sayfa 145 - The change in the quality characteristics of a product under investigation, in response to a factor introduced in the experimental design is the "signal" of the desired effect. However, when an experiment is conducted, there are numerous external factors not designed into the experiment which influence the outcome. These external factors are called the noise factors and their effect on the outcome of the quality characteristic under test is termed "the noise.
Sayfa 1 - The technique of defining and investigating all possible conditions in an experiment involving multiple factors is known as the design of experiments.
Sayfa 101 - Sum of squares. The sum of squares is a measure of the deviation of the experimental data from the mean value of the data. Summing each squared deviation emphasizes the total deviation. Tbus where: Khar is the average of Y s. = S
Sayfa 10 - Taguchi divides quality control efforts into two categories: on-line quality control and off-line quality control. On-line quality control involves diagnosis and adjustment of the process, forecasting and correction of problems, inspection and disposition of product, and follow-up...
Sayfa 10 - While system design helps to identify the working levels of the design factors, parameter design seeks to determine the factor levels that produce the best performance of the product/process under study. The optimum condition is selected so that the influence of the uncontrolled factors (noise factors) causes minimum variation of system performance.
Sayfa 145 - The signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) measures the sensitivity of the quality characteristic being investigated in a controlled manner, to those external influencing factors (noise factors) not under control. The concept of S/N originated in the electrical engineering field.
