Introduction to the Taguchi Method
2018We now introduce a further powerful engineering tool: the Robustness concept. It is inextricably linked to the name of Genichi Taguchi, a Japanese engineer. Although his approach is based on what was outlined in the previous chapter on Design of Experiment, it contains strong innovation of those concepts. Significant improvements are proposed for three

THE USE OF TAGUCHI METHODS IN POLISHING FOR QUALITY OPTIMIZATION
International Journal of Reliability, Quality and Safety Engineering, 2007Polishing process has not been thoroughly understood. The current practice of determining parameter setting for polishing process is done by trial and error approach and subjective experience of polish experts. This may not lead to optimal parameter settings.

Application of the Taguchi method to the design of a robot sensor
Robotica, 1995SummaryThis paper considers the use of the Taguchi method as a means to identify the optimum design of a robot sensor. The sensor is modelled by a complex set of equations which makes optimisation using traditional calculusbased methods difficult. The Taguchi method is employed as a systematic method to understand the performance of the sensor whilst ...

An assessment of diagnostic efficiency by Taguchi/DEA methods
International Journal of Health Care Quality Assurance, 2009PurposeThe aim of this paper is to propose a new, objective and consistent method for the calculation of the diagnostic efficiency in medical applications.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a hybrid method of Taguchi and DEA is proposed. This method reflects the diversity of inputs and outputs by incorporating the stepwise application of ...

Reassessment of the CAGE questionnaire by ROC/Taguchi methods
International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 2004Objectives:The clinical assessment efficiency of the CAGE questionnaire for alcohol abuse based on diagnostic accuracy has not been fully established to date because of the varied and inconclusive gold standards used as diagnostic criteria. CAGE has also been highlighted to miss almost half of the risk-drinkers due to the use of inadequetly set ...

SMED methodology based on fuzzy Taguchi method
Journal of Enterprise Information Management, 2018PurposeThere can be activities that cannot reduce times by conventional single minute exchange of die (SMED) tools. In this case more advanced tools are needed. The purpose of this paper is to integrate the fuzzy Taguchi method into the SMED method in order to improve the setup time.

Taguchi methods and sample surveys
Total Quality Management, 1994Methods of quality improvement should be applied to the service industry as well as to the manufacturing industry. Sample surveys are used to illustrate both how these methods might be applied and some of the conceptual difficulties that could be encountered.
