Abstract

Genich Taguchi, a Japanese engineer and statistician, developed a methodology for improving and controlling the quality of produced goods. His robust optimization technique is widely used in the field of quality improvement and experimental design. Taguchi’s approach aims to improve the quality of products and processes by minimizing variation and reducing the sensitivity of a system to various factors. The statistical approach for quality is valid for the various areas of engineering such as product design and development, life-sciences, and management fields (basically advertising and marketing). Taguchi’s statistical approach is incorporated by the various techniques of the “concept of loss function” and “offline quality control”. He offered a special mathematical relationship between performance and expected harm (Loss), this is explained by the “concept of the loss function”. Taguchi’s method has been widely applied in various industries, including manufacturing, engineering, and design, to optimize processes, reduce variation, and enhance product quality. It provides a systematic and efficient approach to experimentation and optimization, helping organizations achieve higher levels of quality and performance while minimizing costs.
