Abstract
For manufacturing process optimization problems using Taguchi methods, the following factors are of interest to the experimenters:
-
control factors;
-
noise factors;
-
signal factors
A block diagram as shown in Figure 5.1 depicts those factors that influence the response (or the quality characteristic) of a product or process. In the block diagram, y stands for the response (quality characteristic/output). Here we consider only the case of a single response as the extension to multiple responses is straightforward.
