Taguchi's Manufacturing Quality Strategy

Taguchi's rule for manufacturing involves a three stage process: 1) system design which establishes the conceptual design, 2) parameter design which sets nominal values for dimensions and parameters to minimize effects of variation, and 3) tolerance design which focuses on reducing variation in critical dimensions informed by parameter design analysis. Parameter design is the key innovation, allowing parameters to be chosen to make the system robust to manufacturing, environmental, and damage variations.

Taguchi's rule for manufacturing

Taguchi realized that the best opportunity to eliminate variation is during the design of a product
and its manufacturing process. Consequently, he developed a strategy for quality engineering
that can be used in both contexts. The process has three stages:

1. System design
2. Parameter design
3. Tolerance design

This is design at the conceptual level, involving creativity and innovation.

[edit] Parameter design

Once the concept is established, the nominal values of the various dimensions and design
parameters need to be set, the detail design phase of conventional engineering. Taguchi's radical
insight was that the exact choice of values required is under-specified by the performance
requirements of the system. In many circumstances, this allows the parameters to be chosen so as
to minimise the effects on performance arising from variation in manufacture, environment and
cumulative damage. This is sometimes called robustification.

[edit] Tolerance design

With a successfully completed parameter design, and an understanding of the effect that the
various parameters have on performance, resources can be focused on reducing and controlling
variation in the critical few dimensions (see Pareto principle).
