    This document describes using Taguchi methods to optimize three factors (A, B, C) affecting a quality characteristic to be minimized. It finds that Factor B has the largest effect on the quality characteristic based on ANOVA. The optimal levels are found to be A1, B2, C1, which could improve the process average by 3.38 decibels from the current condition, reducing the loss function.

    Example of Taguchi calculations for

    a smaller-the-better characteristic

    Statement: The goal of an experiment is to improve the production of quality by minimize the nu
    Three factors with two levels are studied
    The factors of customer requirements are selected
    The results are presented in the following table:

    A Material used
    B Durability
    C Rigidity and Toughness

    Run A B C R1 R2
    1 1 1 1 55 63
    2 1 2 1 52 51
    3 1 1 2 66 65
    4 1 2 2 52 63
    5 2 1 1 54 71
    6 2 2 1 60 62
    7 2 1 2 70 77
    8 2 2 2 52 69

    The first run represents the current conditions.


    Find the optimal condition and the gain it will provide if adopted.

    STEP 1: Compute S/N ratios

    In this case, the quality characteristic is the amount of wear and has to be minimize
    n=2 k=8
    The formula used for the S/N ratios is so:

    where:
    Run Number of defects _j2 _j A B C
    1 55 63 3497.0 -35.4 1 1 1
    2 52 51 2652.5 -34.2 1 2 1
    3 66 65 4290.5 -36.3 1 1 2
    4 52 63 3336.5 -35.2 1 2 2
    5 54 71 3978.5 -36.0 2 1 1
    6 60 62 3722.0 -35.7 2 2 1
    7 70 77 5414.5 -37.3 2 1 2
    8 52 69 3732.5 -35.7 2 2 2

    STEP 2: Compute factor effects

    Each factor has two level, two effects by factor have to be calculated.

    Level A B C
    1 -141.2 -145.1 -141.4
    2 -144.8 -140.9 -144.6

    STEP 3: Complete the ANOVA

    a/ Variations of factors
    We use the following formulas to compute the variation of each
    factor and the total variation ST.
    Every factor has two levels:

    k: number of runs k=8


    A B C T
    Variations S 1.56 2.20 1.31 5.07

    b/ Degree of freedom

    Reminder: fT=k-1 so fT= 7


    f factor P= number of level-1

    Results:
    A B C T
    f 1 1 1 3

    c/ Variances

    Reminder: Total variance: Variance of factor

    Results:
    A B C T
    Variance V 1.56 2.20 1.31 1.69

    According to these results, we can identify factors making up the larger


    variances terms: B
    So factors considered as source error is A and C
    We can now estimate variation and variance for the error source.

    d/ Error variation Se and error variance Ve

    Reminders:

    fe= _ (f factor M)
    Results: Se= SA+SC Se=
    So fe=
    fe= fC+ Ve=

    e/ Pure variations

    Reminders: For the factors considered as significant (A,C,E,I and J):

    For the error source:

    Results:
    A B C error
    Pure variation 0.25 0.89 0.00 5.23

    f/ Degree of contribution

    Reminders: For the factors considered as significant (B and C):

    For the error source:

    Results:
    A B C ERROR
    _(%) 4.9 17.6 0.0 103.3

    We can now draw the ANOVA table with all the results:

    Source f S V S' _ (%)


    A 1 1.56 1.56 0.25 3.9
    B 1 2.20 2.20 0.89 14.0
    C 1 1.31 1.31 0.00 0.0
    e 1 1.31 1.31 5.23 82.1
    Total 3 6.38 100

    STEP 4: Investigate the optimum condition

    The table with effects of every factor allows to select the best level for
    each factor to maximize the Signal-to-Noise ratio:

    Level A B C
    1 -141.23 -145.09 -141.38
    2 -144.76 -140.90 -144.61

    According to these values, the optimum condition is:

    Factor A B C
    Level 1 2 1

    Evaluate quality improvement

    a/ Process average under optimum conditions

    Reminders:

    where

    Results:
    -35.75

    STEP 5:
    A1 = -70.62

    C1 = -70.69

    Finally: _= -105.56 decibel

    b/ Process average under current conditions

    The current combination of level is the following (first run):

    Factor A B C
    Level 1 1 1

    So the current process average is:

    ? = T + (A2-T)+(C2-T)

    A2 = -72.38

    C2 = -72.31

    _0= -108.94 decibel _-_0= 3.38

    By adopting the optimal condition, the process average increases by about 10.4 dec

    So _2improvement= 4.59E-01 2.18

    The Loss function under the optimal condition will be:


    where L0 is the Loss function under current conditions

    The quality improvement will be:


    ity by minimize the number of defects of the products.

    d has to be minimized.
    iation of each
    Variance of factor P:
    1.31
    1
    1.31

    A,C,E,I and J):

    B and C):
    ect the best level for
    decibel

    ses by about 10.4 decibel.
