What Is the Taguchi Method?

The Taguchi Method is a spe­cif­ic approach to exper­i­men­tal design devel­oped to opti­mize the qual­i­ty of prod­ucts and process­es. Learn how the Taguchi method uses orthog­o­nal arrays to ensure a bal­anced exam­i­na­tion of fac­tors, how it uses sig­nal-to-noise ratios to achieve spe­cif­ic exper­i­men­tal design objec­tives, and how the qual­i­ty loss func­tion pro­vides a new way of under­stand­ing the true cost of poor quality.
