Robust design uses the parameter design approach of Genichi Taguchi to optimize designs of products and processes with the objective of building in insensitivity to noise. Noise is any kind of uncontrolled variation in the environment of operation of the product or process that could affect performance. If we recognize how variation in the environment (e.g., energy source, raw materials, heat a...

The specific effect of chemical and physical factors on amidase production from Geobacillus subterraneus RL-2a was investigated using design of experiments (DOE) methodology. The one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method was used to study the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on amidase production. Subsequently, optimal levels of physical parameters and key media components, namely temperature, p...

Along with the widespread use of Taguchi methods in product design, deenition of the loss function has been integrated with numerous models which require quality cost estimation. In this paper, the economic-statistical design of a variable sampling X-bar control chart is extended using the Taguchi loss function to improve chart eeectiveness from a quality cost point of view. The eeectiveness of...

The multiobjective design of digital filters using the powerful Taguchi optimization technique is considered in this paper. This relatively new optimization tool has been recently introduced to the field of engineering and is based on orthogonal arrays. It is characterized by its robustness, immunity to local optima trapping, relative fast convergence and ease of implementation. The objectives ...

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,...

in this research work with the aid of tagouchi experimental design and rawing of interaction curves with minitab software, the best rotor speed and dump temperature of mixing for physico-mechanical and rheological properties of the rubber compound with three mixing steps was obtained. moreover by plotting the mean curves in excel worksheet, the dependency of properties on rotor speed, dump temp...

in the present study, an ultrafine grained (ufg) 304l stainless steel with the average grain size of 300 nm was produced by a combination of cold rolling and annealing. weldability of the ufg sample was studied by nd: yag laser welding under different welding conditions. taguchi experimental design was used to optimize the effect of frequency, welding time, laser current and laser pulse duratio...

spinel-type of mno2 nanoparticles which successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal process, have a required capacity for lithium uptake from liquid resources. themost lithium adsorption capacity of 6.6 mmol/g of up to now was found to be an important limiting parameter for industrial applications. therefore, increasing uptake capacity of these ion sieves by studding the effect of six effective ...

the research aimed to apply the taguchi method for techno-economical evaluation of cr+6 removal using the electro-coagulation process with the aid of two different coagulants (fecl3 and pac). taguchi orthogonal array l27 (313) was applied for analyzing the effect of four variables including initial ph, reaction time, current density and coagulant types in an attempt to improve the chromium remo...

in this study, taguchi experimental design has been used for the optimization of thickness of chromium layers. for this purpose brass materials have been electroplated under various conditions of the process. an orthogonal array (oa) was employed to analyze the effect of plating parameters on the characteristic of the thickness. variables which were considered for working were as following; amo...
