Taguchi method is used to find best process parameters and improved quality results. Taguchi technique/method investigates the variation in experiments and generally approach of system, acceptance aims and parameters have been significant in improving product quality worldwide. Highest possible performance in this method is obtained by determining the optimum combination of design factors. The present work focused by using orthogonal arrays (OA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Orthogonal arrays are used to get optimal values with the effect of graphs and analysis of variance was employed to investigate the characteristics and experimental results provided the effectiveness of this approach. This technique has improved quality of design and shorten the design cycle.
Keywords: Taguchi method, orthogonal array, Analysis of variance, S/N ratio, warpage and sink marks.
Introduction
Taguchi method is the statistical technique used to study the or developed to enhance the quality of manufacturing goods and more recently applied to many fields like biotechnology, advertising, marketing and engineering. Professional statisticians have welcomed the goals and improvements bought by this method and also we can study variations in
Based on the 3 types of quality costs that have been discussed and reviewed above, I recommend that we look at doing more appraisals and inspections during the manufacturing process, this will limit the number of design changes that happen early in the process but it should help in cutting down our external failure costs and help limit
Six Sigma is a business metrics that seeks to identify and eliminate causes of errors or defects as well as failures in business processes by focusing on output that are critical to customers (De Feo, Barnard 2004). It is also a measure of quality that strives to eliminate defects using the application of statistical methods. In this case, a defect is defined as anything that could lead to customer dissatisfaction. Six Sigma’s statistical quality control is the method used to measure variability in a product for evaluation and corrective actions. When the product metrics exceeds the bounds of acceptability, based on statistical inference, the product can be rejected with reasonable assurance that does not meet requirement. It aims to identify and eliminate waste in order to increase speed and flow from start to finish. It also identifies the critical steps, and deleting those not required or nonessential. There are so many metrics process in today’s business industries but the metrics that Six Sigma’s statistical thinking can also be defined as a thought process. In which it recognize the variation is all around us and present in everything we do. The Six Sigma’s interconnected processes and identifying, characterizing, quantifying, controlling and reducing variation provide opportunities for improvement within any organizations or firms. That is to say,
In the process of DFE analysis, it uses four methods to analyse the design of coffeemaker, it includes MET, BIRCH, MACDONALD SMITH and LUTTROP. Based on MET method,we can
COSO is the committee of sponsoring organizations of the Treadway commission and they were organized in 1985 to sponsor the national commission of financial fraud reporting (Coso). They were formed to help standardizes processes and provide leadership towards companies. They developed a comprehensive framework for guidance on internal controls. The COSO method involves three objectives in regard to controls. They are: effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations (McNally, 2013).
Briefly, the goal of the following project which is its overview is to assess the manufacturing techniques that
One of the struggles of companies, governments, and individuals is on making the right decisions from developing products, implementing projects, and purchasing a car, respectively. Making the right decisions is what leads to success; for this reason, researchers and system engineers have developed tools which would be very helpful to measure and track the decisions in order to ensure that the decisions are strong, with informative and research support. Pareto Analysis (PA), Paired Comparison (PC), Grid Analysis (GA), Decision Analysis (DA), Quality Function Deployment (QFD) are some of the most commonly used tools for decision making (Mann, 2005). However, we chose to study QFD and to what extend we can use it. QFD is defined as a technique for developing a design quality aiming at satisfying the consumer and then translating the consumer’s demand into design targets and major quality assurance points to be used throughout the production phase (Akao, 1990). QFD was invented in Japan by Dr. Yoji Akao and Dr. Shigeru Mizuno in 1966, but it was applied in Mitsubishi’s Kobe shipyard in 1972 as a result from attempting to improve the development cycle and ensuring to satisfy the customer’s needs (Khurana, 1992). Quality Function Deployment in Japanese is Hin Shitsu Ki No Ten Kai. The US adopted this method in the 1980’s and it slowly became popular throughout the world.
At this junction, the product design phase has been completed, although continuous improvement and lean manufacturing principles must be utilized. Using these principles will ensure that the company focuses on customer needs and delivers the desired product in a timely manner with greater profitability for the company by reduction of waste and minimization of input costs.
DFMA not only reduces the cost of manufacturing the product, but helps to reduce the time-to-market and product quality. DFMA also provides a systematic procedure to analyze the proposed project from the point of view of the assembly and manufacture .The decrease in the number of parts reduces costs as well as inventory. DFMA tools encouraged process between the designer and production engineer in the early stages of design. DFMA directly involved to a reduced number of parts, and part count. thereby contributing to the reduction of the assembly operations and product lead time. Moreover DFMA reduced packaging costs. Therefore, increased overall performance and efficiency .The DFMA will help for direct reduction of material costs of the entire system, as well as the cost of the product. Therefore the whole process will have a better product quality and
In this chapter a detailed review on certain results and methods of Variables Sampling plan based on Cpmk Process Capability Index for product acceptance determination.
Employees pay structure was revamped which focused on incentive for product innovation and creativity. Alteration from fragmented system to modularized system resulted in proper utilization of injection molding operations and the manufacturing plants were relocated to low costs of locations. Hypothesis driven method was used to change and improve the processes. Customer oriented philosophy was endorsed which was based on feedback from the customer base. Company’s brand ambassadors participated in conventions across the world to discuss about product innovation. The sourcing was more strategic by starting pilot programed focus on the cost rationalization of company’s raw materials. The distribution channels were moved closer to customers and companys marketing worked in conjunction with biggest retailers which aided in joint forecasting and product
In this assignment I have demonstrated an understanding of engineering design and manufacture by looking at traditional manufacturing processes and non-contact processes. I have selected the right process/process and its suitable materials, economics, quality issues, dimensional accuracy and they’re advantages/disadvantages. I have given a thorough conclusion on what method I believe is the best depending on the quantity of lathe carrier body’s being made and also value for money.
This work is done to study the improvement of the quality in automobile industry. This chapter consists three sections named as “Problem definition”, “Objectives” and “Methodology of the study” respectively. The section 3.1 named as “Problem definition” describes the challenge or difficulty that is to be solved. The solution may be achieved after fulfilling the objective by using some sub-objectives that are described in section 3.2 named as “Objectives”. The methodology described in section 3.3 in details. This methodology has been devised keeping in mind the view of “Problem definition” and the “Objectives” that are suggested for the fulfilment of the solution for the problem.
The design is a whole business process which includes all sides of the manufacture of the products from the design of the components to be used in the products, their usefulness, their shape and performance to serve the objectives such products are launched in the market in accordance with the needs and expectations of customers. The implementation of the new process is targeted at the management of the supply and purchase channels more efficiently in face of competitors.
For the research purpose I have done the research on how the quality of the product is maintained and observe it with the variables and the attribute design. I just analysis with the various dimension like p chart, c chart, chart, R chart
