Why/When is Taguchi Method Appropriate? Tip #4 Robust design improves “QUALITY” at all the life stages at thedesign stageitself Friday, 11th May 2001
Tip #4 Robust design improves “QUALITY” at all the stages at thedesign stageitself • The four stages are • Design • Manufacturing • Customer usage • Aging
PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE Every product life cycle has four stages Design Manufacturing Customer usage Aging Every stage has a " product quality " associated with it Conventional design methods improve " quality " at each stage only after the product passes through that stage Robust design improves " quality " the design stage itself at all the stages at
How to minimize the ‘effects’ of all ‘manufacturing variations’ right at the design stage? • Variations during Manufacturing • Raw materials • Equipment • Workmanship • Variations during Operation/Use • Environment • Temperature, humidity, • supply voltage, EMI, • dust, vibration • Human error • Loading • Heavy duty, light duty • Variations due to aging (over time) • Components • Consumables Include these as NoIsE while conducting Matrix experiment
How to minimize the ‘effects’ of all ‘operating variations’ right at the design stage? Normal testing conditions are for capturing the effect of NoIsE included during the Matrix experiments • Variations during Manufacturing • Raw materials • Equipment • Workmanship • Variations during Operation/Use • Environment • Temperature, humidity, • supply voltage, EMI, • dust, vibration • Human error • Loading • Heavy duty, light duty • Variations due to aging (over time) • Components • Consumables Include these as ‘additional’ testing conditions for measurements
