1. In poultry investigations, the main interest is often to study the effects of many factors simultaneously. Two or three level factorial designs are the most commonly used for this type of investigation. However, it is often too costly to perform when number of factors increase. So a fractional factorial design, which is a subset or a fraction of a full factorial design, is an alternative. Th...

The objective of the present study is to optimize the process by applying the Taguchi method with orthogonal array robust design. Taguchi Parameter Design is a powerful and efficient method for optimizing the process, quality and performance output of manufacturing processes, thus a powerful tool for meeting this challenge. Off-line quality control is considered to be an effective approach to i...

In the present study, a comparison of central composite design (CCD) and Taguchi method was established for Fenton oxidation. [Dye]ini, Dye:Fe(+2), H2O2:Fe(+2), and pH were identified control variables while COD and decolorization efficiency were selected responses. L 9 orthogonal array and face-centered CCD were used for the experimental design. Maximum 99% decolorization and 80% COD removal e...

Dr Taguchi is a Japanese engineer and an international quality consultant who has made breakthrough improvements in product and process quality through the use of statistical design of experiments (SDOE). The Taguchi method became popular in the West in the 1980s as a means to design robust products and processes. Although many companies and industries have used the method with success, the rea...

The goal of this paper is to perform complex assembly tasks, using a robot assisted by a multi-axis vibrator that reduces friction and avoids jamming. An experimentbased approach using the Taguchi Method is applied to the tuning of the vibrator. The vibrators are tuned so that effects of friction and stick-slip can be minimized. Using actual assembly data and an experimental analysis method, ca...

This work describes the optimization of cryogenic treatment (CT) parameters such as the cooling rate, the soaking temperature, the soaking time, the tempering temperature and the tempering time to maximise the tool wear of high speed steel tools in dry turning of AISI 316 grade austenitic stainless steels by Taguchi method. For this purpose, four iteration of Taguchi design (L16) have been used...

manufacturing process frequently employs optimization of machining parameters in order to improve product quality as well as to enhance productivity. the material removal rate is a significant indicator of the productivity and cost efficiency of the process. taguchi method has been implemented for assessing favorable (optimal) machining condition during the machining of nylon by considering thr...

in the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. in this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using abaqus software. in this study, it has been employed the taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

This paper presents an application of the Taguchi method parameter design to optimize the surface roughness, tool wear and cutting force by hard turning process. The Taguchi parameter design method is an efficient method in which response variable can be optimized, given various controls and using fewer experimental runs. Hard turning is the latest trend in all manufacturing industries and it i...

In this work, a hybrid Taguchi-Particle Swarm Optimization (TPSO) is proposed to solve global numerical optimization problems with continuous and discrete variables. This hybrid algorithm combines the well-known Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm with the established Taguchi method, which has been an important tool for robust design. This paper presents the improvements obtained despite the ...
