Taguchi Methods for Problem Solving
(4-Day Workshop)

About the Program:

Taguchi Methods provides a strategy for dealing with multiple and interrelated problems. Give you a process that will provide a better understanding of your products and processes. Give you a more efficient way of designing experiments for industrial problem solving using Orthogonal Arrays, while focusing on cost as a key consideration. Provide techniques for rational decision-making for prioritizing problems, allowing you to better focus your engineering resources. Provide a tool for optimizing manufacturing processes.

Learning Objectives:

• When and where to apply Taguchi Methods for Problem Solving.
• Evaluating quality levels in monetary terms.
• How to deal with complex, interrelated problems.
• How to prioritize your problems.
• Problem solving techniques for variable and attribute output responses.
• How to recognize the effects of uncontrollable conditions (noise) on your products or processes.
• Three ways to approach problems with variable output responses.
• Efficient methods for obtaining data on the problem.
• How to formulate a problem solving experiment using Orthogonal Arrays.
• How to select important control factors and noise factors.
• Strategies for selecting output responses to achieve reproducible optimized results.
• How to analyze data using a response table.
• Effective use of the signal-to-noise ration for data analysis.
• How to interpret results of problem solving investigations.
• Team selection considerations.
• Implementation guidelines.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone interested in reducing scrap, defects and rework including problem solvers, "firefighters," quality assurance, or quality control professionals, or manufacturing engineers.

Features & Benefits:

• Each attendee will bring an actual project/problem from their organization, and consultation will be provided by Dr. Genichi Taguchi and Mr. Shin Taguchi in setting up a case study. The project will be completed by the end of the session with significant cost saving achieved for the organization.
• Each attendee will receive state of the art software, books, and best-in-class case studies to create an in-company Taguchi Research Library.
