Robust design of multiple dynamic quality characteristics

Abstract

The Taguchi method is a useful technique to improve the performance of products or processes at a lower cost and in less time. The traditional Taguchi method focused on a single characteristic to optimize the parameter conditions. In practice, most products and processes have more than one quality characteristic. Several approaches dealing with multiple static quality characteristic problems have been reported. However, little attention has been focused on optimizing the multiple dynamic quality characteristics. This research presents an approach to optimizing multiple dynamic problems based on quality loss. The objective is to minimize the total average quality loss for the multiple dynamic quality characteristics experiment.
