a new cost function based on stochastic fuzzy discrimination information measure is introduced in this paper. focusing on their significant parts, this cost function is used to find the optimal value of threshold for denoising image. it is, in fact, an extension of fuzzy entropy cost function by the present author. multivariable normal distribution is used for creating focus on significant part...

The operating control parameters of injection flushing type of electrical discharge machining process on stainless steel 304 workpiece with copper tools are being optimized according to its individual machining characteristic i.e. material removal rate (MRR). Lower MRR during EDM machining process may decrease its’ machining productivity. Hence, the quality characteristic for MRR is set to high...

This paper proposes a procedure for process parameters design by combining both modeling and optimization methods. The proposed procedure integrates the Taguchi method, the artificial neural network (ANN), and the genetic algorithm (GA). First, the Taguchi method is applied to minimize experimental numbers and to collect experimental data representing the quality performances of a system. Next,...

The practical applications of integrated maintenance policies and quality for a multi-component system are more complicated, still rare, incomplete to meet the requirements Industry 4.0. Therefore, this work aims extend integration economic model optimizing control parameters by incorporating Taguchi loss function system. An optimization is developed based on preventive maintenance, corrective ...

An improved immune algorithm, named the Taguchi-immune algorithm (TIA), is proposed to solve global numerical optimization problems with continuous variables based on both the features of a biological immune system and the systematic reasoning ability of the Taguchi method. In the TIA, the clonal proliferation within hypermutation for several antibody diversifications and the recombination by u...

For all industrial processes, modelling, optimisation and control are the keys to enhance productivity and ensure product quality. In the current study, the optimization of process parameters for improving the conversion of isoeugenol to vanillin by Psychrobacter sp. CSW4 was investigated by means of Taguchi approach and Box-Behnken statistical design under resting cell conditions. Taguchi desi...

Planning the power distribution network is critical and challenging; main challenges include multiple costs involved, selecting appropriate locations of different nodes at minimal cost, minimizing cost energy loss for both primary secondary networks. Literature on presents approaches, however, lacks to address several issues complex networks many aspects are yet be explored; example, uncertain ...

The challenge of current manufacturing industries is increase production rate in order to maintain their competitiveness in market.This paper investigates the effect of spindle speed and feed on material removal rate in turning operation execute on conventional lathe machine. An effort has been made to model the one response variable using Taguchi and ANOVA method. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array i...

The theoretical foundations of Taguchi Methods were laid out by Genichi Taguchi, a Japanese engineer who began working for the telecommunications company, ECL (Electrical Communications Lab, a part of NT&T), in 1950’s. After World War II, his team was involved in the design of telephone system components, and successfully produced designs that performed better than their main rivals, Bell Labs,...
