Taguchi Method Journal

 The term 'Taguchi methods' is generally wont to cover two related ideas. the primary is that, by the utilization of statistical methods concerned with the analysis of variance, experiments could also be constructed which enable identification of the important design factors liable for degrading product performance. The second (related) concept is that when judging the effectiveness of styles , the degree of degradation or loss may be a function of the deviation of any design parameter from its target value.     These ideas arise from development work undertaken by Dr Genichi Taguchi whilst performing at the japanese telecommunications company NTT within the 1950s and 1960s. He attempted to use experimental techniques to realize both top quality and low-cost design solutions.   He suggested that the planning process should be seen as three stages:   • systems design; • parameter design; and • tolerance design. Systems design identifies the essential elements of the planning , which can produce the specified output, like the simplest combination of processes and materials.   Parameter design determines the foremost appropriate, optimising set of parameters covering these design elements by identifying the settings of every parameter which can minimise variation from the target performance of the merchandise .   Tolerance design finally identifies the components of the planning which are sensitive in affecting the standard of the merchandise and establishes tolerance limits which can give the specified level of variation within the design.
