Purpose: To predict the minimum value of additional material volume for an acceptable preform product. To predict an acceptable preform product without shape defect such as unfilling in a closed-die forging operation. Design/methodology/approach: In order to reduce the number of experiments, an orthogonal array from the Taguchi’s experimental method will be utilized to design the process parame...

The Taguchi method is a useful technique to improve the performance of products or processes at a lower cost and in less time. This procedure can be categorized in the static and dynamic quality characteristics. The optimization of multiple responses has received increasing attention over the last few years in many manufacturing organizations.  Several approaches dealing with multiple static q...

BACKGROUND Enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose is one of the most important biotechnological processes in the food industry, which is accomplished by enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal, β-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23), trivial called lactase. Orthogonal arrays design is an appropriate option for the optimization of biotechnological processes for the production of microbial enzymes. METH...

This work presents a novel algorithm, the MTS algorithm, which offers the Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS) method for parameter selections which are adjusted under a product parameter design. The utility of the algorithm is assessed how individual product parameter dimensions are selected and it can be used to focus on design system (DS) and to identify product architecture dimensions that are ...

In this paper, we demonstrate a robust design of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) using Taguchi Method. In accordance with Taguchi Method, noise factors, which are uncontrollable sources of variation, and control factors, which are available to control both the deviations and the mean-values by circuit designers were assigned to an orthogonal array. We simulated radio frequency (...

E3all grid arrays (E3GAs), and other area array packages, are becoming more as a way to increase component pin count while avoiding the manufacturing prominent difficulties inherent In processing quad flat packs (QFPs). The JF)L Electronic Packaging and Fabrication section is currently conducting process development in order to be able to effectively place BGAs on printed wiring boards (PWE3S)....

The design of distribution networks is prone to risks due to the uncertainties associated with factors that change over time. In this paper we present a new method to identify those factors that the structure of a distribution network is most sensitive to. The new method combines simulation and the Taguchi technique to allow a wide range of factor uncertainties to be evaluated without excessive...

The biosorption performance of raw cone shell of Calabrian pine for C.I. Basic Red 46 as a model azo dye from aqueous system was optimized using Taguchi experimental design methodology. L9 (3(3)) orthogonal array was used to optimize the dye biosorption by the pine cone shell. The selected factors and their levels were biosorbent particle size, dye concentration, and contact time. The predicted...
