On-line QC by Taguchi has two approaches of: the cost-oriented (cost-emphasis) QC and the process-oriented (quality-emphasis) QC. The main concern of this paper is to estabilish and recommend a desirable one as a QC target. Simulation is employed to solve the question, and the failure cost (A), appraisal cost (B), and prevention cost (C) are adopted as decision variables. In conclusion, the process-oriented QC is the recommendable approach as far as there is no remarkable cost difference between the two approaches and possible to apply on.
