Robust Design Using Taguchi Methods
(4-Day Workshop)

About the Program:

This revolutionary approach to engineering and design represents one of the most significant breakthroughs in product and process design since the Quality Revolution began. It provides a method for designing products and processes that are minimally impacted by external forces, such as environment, client use, or manufacturing conditions. This is accomplished using Energy Transformation principles for improving the desired output targeted toward perfect performance, rather than attempting to surpress symptoms.

Learning Objectives:

• Establish noise factor strategies.
• Take downstream environmental issues into consideration at development stage.
• Evaluate robustness of technology using S/N ratio.
• Identify Ideal Function of a technology.
• Effectively design experiments for technology development.
• Apply strategies for interactions.
• Effectively establish benchmarking information at development stage.
• Develop technology before product planning/design.
• Apply techniques in simulation.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is intended for personnel who are responsible for:

• Concept development.
• Product technology development.
• Process technology development.
• Product development.
• Product design.
• Process development.
• Process design.

Features & Benefits:

• Develop products and processes that perform consistently as intended under a wide range of user’s conditions throughout their life cycle (durable and reliable).
• Maximize robustness-improve the intended function of the product by developing and increasing insensitivity to noise factors, which tend to degrade performance.
• Develop or change product formulas and process settings to achieve desired performance at the lowest cost and in the shortest time.
• Simplify designs and processes to reduce cost.
