New Tip #16 Taguchi Method 1st Priority : Variance Reduction2nd Priority : Factor Effects(next 4 slides) Friday, 3rd August 2001
Symbols : Taguchi Method 1st Priority :VarianceReduction2nd Priority : Factor Effects • VarianceReduction : USE Factor-Effect Plot for S/N Ratio : Select ‘dominant’ Control Factor (and their Levels) such that “variance” is minimized Neutral Factor S / N RATIO A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3 D1 D2 D3 • “put” the “mean-on-target” : USE Factor-Effect Plot for Mean : • Select one of the ‘neutral’ Control Factors as the “adjustment factor” Mean Adjustment Factor A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3 D1 D2 D3
useful Mean Square = ----------------- = ----------------- Harmful Variance Symbols : Taguchi Method 1st Priority :VarianceReduction • S/N Ratio (Objective Function) Taguchi methods are experimental statistical methods to optimize a given process technology with respect to an objective function defined as • The Ideal Value of the S/N Ratio is (infinity). • Since the ideal value of the Ratio is (infinity), • the primary importance is shifted to “reduction in Variance” to 0 (zero) • making “improving mean” asecondary objective • (which is primary in conventional approach)
Symbols : Taguchi Method 1st Priority :VarianceReduction and “put” the “mean-on-target” • Variance is, in fact, reduced in presence of NoIsE and thus the product/process becomes “ROBUST” • Identify an “adjustment factor” that has little or no effect on the variance but has a large effect on the mean use the ‘adjustment factor’ to “put” the “mean-on-target”
