  1. Design of Experiments and Taguchi Experimental Design Professor Joe Greene CSU, Chico Taguchi

  2. Design of Experiments • Need for Experiments • Factorial Experiments • Two-Factor Factorial Experiments • Statistical Analysis for Two-Factor Experiments • Other Factorial Experiments • General Factorial Experiments • Randomized Complete Block Design • 2k Factorial Design • Taguchi Designs Taguchi

  3. Need for Need for Experiments • Need to establish cause and effect relationships • Home • Car repair- Trouble-shooting starting, noise, and braking problems • Home repair- Electrical and mechanical problems, cooking, etc. • Gardening and lawn maintenance- watering and pesticide use • School • Studying versus grades performance • Attendance versus grade performance • Industry • Maintenance and trouble-shooting of equipment • Effects of moisture, line rate, operators on productivity and quality • Trouble shooting production problems for incoming Materials • Trouble shooting production problems on Target values for performance or appearance Taguchi

  4. Experimental Goals • Statistical Accuracy • Proper selection of the responses to be measured • Determination the number of factors that affect a response • The interactions between the factors • The number of repetitions per run • The form of analysis to be completed • Cost • Minimize the cost • Reduce the number of experiments to the minimum • Study the main factors • Thoroughly understand the process under study • Choose the minimum number of experiments Taguchi

  5. Factorial Experiments • Study the effects of 2 or more factors with factorial experiments • Each factor and each combination of factors are studied • Example • Factor A has 2 levels (high, low) • Factor B has 2 levels (on, off) • Then the total number of experiments is 2x2=4, or • high-on, high-off, low-on, low-off • Experiments measure the difference of the response from one level of the factor (high for A) and another level (low for A). Taguchi

  6. Factorial Experiments- Design • Example • Factor A- 2 levels- A1, A2 • Factor B- 2 levels- B1, B2 • Measured values are • 10, 20 • 30, 40 • The effect Factor A has on the experiment is the average difference between the levels A= 30+40 - 10+20 = 20 2 2 B= 20+40 - 30+10 = 10 2 2 Conclusion Changes in Factor A causes more of an effect than B. Factor A is more significant than Factor B Taguchi

  7. Factorial Experiments- Interaction • Example- No Interactions Interactions Taguchi

  8. Two-Factor Factorial Experiments • Problem- Molding problems on Injection Molder has caused defects to sky rocket. The problems started when the PP resin was switched to a different supplier. Additionally, a new operator was added • Experiment design to determine the cause of the defect • Factor A- 2 levels: Resin 1= PP_old and Resin 2 PP_new • Factor B- 2 levels- Operator 1= Tom and Operator 2= Bob • Experiment run to see what is the cause- Operator or Resin Taguchi

  9. Two-Factor Factorial Experiments • Experimental Layout Taguchi

  10. Significance of Difference • Level Averages • Sum Differences from Table • Graph Results • Analysis of Variance • Statistical Measurement Method • Measures the total variability in the data measured by the Sum of Squares • Separate out the the differences caused by the individual factors • Calculates the differences caused by the error • Uses the F statistic to calculate the significance Taguchi

  11. ANOVA Example • Analysis of Variance Note: F Statistic determines significance. If F is greater than a specified value than the factor is significant. Taguchi

  12. ANOVA Example Calculation • Analysis of Variance SST= Sum (results)2 - y..2 N = (10)2 + (20)2 + (30)2 +…+(70)2 - (1280)2 8 SSResin = Sum (Resin y.)2 - y..2 n N SSOperator = Sum (Operator y.)2 - y..2 n N SSError= SST - SSResin - SSOperator Taguchi

  13. Other Factorial Experiments • General Factorial Experiments • Involves experiments with more than 2 factors • Requires many experiments to run • Randomized Complete Block Design • Special design of experiment that blocks out certain extraneous effects • Used to investigate the effects of one ore more factors when entire experiment cannot be run under homogeneous conditions • 2k Factorial Design • Special design for 2 levels and k factors Taguchi

  14. Taguchi Experimental Design • History of Dr. Genichi Taguchi • After WWII, the Japanese initiated a major effort to participate in the world market. • The first products were inexpensive, but of poor quality. • The Japanese government set up government agencies modeled after US companies (Bell Labs). One such company, Electrical Communication Laboratories of Japan (ECL), hired Dr. Taguchi to reduce the cost of experimentation. • Dr. Taguchi developed a series of experiments that resembled partial factorial designs and featured orthogonal (balanced) arrays. • The experimental method is called “The Taguchi Approach” Taguchi

  15. Comparison: Taguchi vs. Conventional Experimental Design • Traditional experimental designs were introduced by R.A. Fisher in 1920’s in England • Limitations of traditional design • Limited variety of layouts and difficult data analysis • Limited number of variables with many required repetitions • Passive approach to interactions. Difficulty in resolving them • F statistic only recognized as fully significant. Partial effects are not calculated • Taguchi has • Multiple layouts and designs and efficient data analysis • Minimum number of experiments • Active approach to interactions and calculates partial contribution Taguchi

  16. Features of Taguchi • Orthogonal Arrays • Efficient data collection • Separated effects from one another • Balanced, separable, or not mixed • Minimum number of experiments • Experimental Designs • Two Level- L8, L16, L32 have 8 experiments, 16 experiments, and 32 experiments, respectively • Three Level- L9, L27 have 9 experiments and 27 experiments. • Data Analysis- Software available • Level Averages • ANOVA Taguchi

  17. Examples Taguchi • Design of Experiment for thermoplastic composites • Objectives • What is the best combination of Twintex composites and GMT? • What are the optimum process conditions? • Paper for SAE Taguchi

Improving Performance of BMC Bumper Beams DOE Study • Evaluate Effectiveness of Prepreg Technology to Selectively Increase Stiffness & Impact Performance • Find Optimum Combination of the 2 Materials • 4 Variables were Compared vs Static Load : • Prepreg Type • BMC Glass % • Weight Fraction of Prepreg • Tonnage of Press Taguchi

  19. Improving Performance of BMC Bumper Beams DOE Study • 3-Point Loading Test (ASTM D790), with FMVSS 581 Pendulum Impactor head • Typical mid-sized Vehicle Bumper was Used • Test loaded Beam at Centerline @ 51 mm/min • Load/Deflection Response Measured & Recorded • Test’s Measurable was Beam’s Static Load, Recorded at 25 mm of Deflection • Specific Load = Static Load/Beam Weight Taguchi
