ABSTRACT

Parameter design for static characteristics Parameter design has the greatest contribution among those quality control methods that Taguchi had promoted. Parameter design aims to decide the parameter setting values of products or manufacturing processes to minimize sensitivities to noise parameters. Under the different parameter level combinations, Taguchi believed that the mean and variance of the quality characteristics for products or processes are different. Through parameter design, we can find an optimal parameter level combination to make the mean value approach the target value and to minimize the variation.
