In parameter design introduced by Taguchi, we analyze a signal-to-noise(SN) ratio. The SN ratio is a function of the expected loss due to the variation of quality characteristic. In this paper, an easy way for developing SN ratios is presented, which can be used to several quality characteristics simultaneously in parameter design. To develop such multivariate SN ratios, the transformation method of the expected loss and combining techniques are employed. And the analysis of real empirical data for an application of the proposed method is also presented.

Using this model, SN ratio of taguchi method for each of subjective factors as well as values of weights are used in this comprehensive positioning method for product. A example is presented to illustrate the model and to show a rank reversal when compared to a model that eliminates the highest and lowest customers' values allocating the weights and the subjective factors.

Taguchi robust design is widely used to quality improve methods. Especially, interest of dynamic characteristics parameter design is getting grow. In this paper, we have a comparative analyzed three Signal-to-Noise Ratios which are used in American Supplier Institute(ASI), MINITAB and Taguchi series published by Japanese Standard Institute with numerical examples.

Pressure ripple, vibration and noise level are measured in each parts of the power steering system. MD(Mahalanobis Distance) is calculated by using MTS(Mahalanobis Taguchi System) with measured data, and noise sensitive components are selected. The components applied detail design parameters are made and data is measured. After that MD is calculated also. Mean value and SN ratio can be obtained from the MD. Effective noise reduction technique and dominant design parameters in hydraulic power steering system are introduced.

도자기 산업 유통단지 선정 시 성능 특성은 구매선호도, 가격, 제품, 생산품질 등 여러가지가 있지만 모든 성능 특성을 동시에 고려하는 것은 불가능 하다. 따라서 이들 중 중요인자를 선정하고, 유통단지의 필요정도만을 특성치로 선택하여 제품에 대한 범위를 결과로 도출하고자 한다. 이로 인해서 현행의 부진한 도자기시장을 활성화할 수 있도록 판촉 방안의 문제점 및 개선 방안을 강구하고, 효율적인 유통시스템의 설계로 인한 도자기 산업 전반의 비용 절감을 모색하고자 한다. 또한 본 연구는 일반 대중들이 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 형태의 유통구조 개선에 따른 마케팅 접근방법을 제시하여 유통단지 구축으로 판매 촉진 방안을 수립하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다.

This paper suggests the noise reduction method of the engine cooling fan. It was estimated the fannoise contribution at the engine room and identified the noise source at the rotating fan by sound intensity method, first. And it has been developed the program for predicting the noise spectrum of axial flow fan. The radiated acoustic pressure is expressed the discrete frequency noise peaks at BPF and its harmonics and the line spectrum at the broad band by the noise generation mechanisms. In this paper it is shown that the comparison of the measuted and calculaed noise spectra of fn for the validation of the noise predictiong program. And this paper presents the characteristics of a fan noise due to modify the design parameters. Accordingly, it was obtained the design parameter values for noise reduction of fan.

Taguchi parameter design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic value in products and processes. Taguchi has used signal-to-noise(SN) ratio to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. Many statisticians criticize the Taguchi techniques of analysis, particularly those based on SN ratio. In this paper we propose a substantially simpler optimization procedure for parameter design without resorting to SN ratio.

The relation between output SNR and mth harmonic generation is determined for nonlinear system of zero memory type, half wave and the nth power law devices with narrow band form of the unmodulated sinusoidal wave plus zero mean and stationary gaussian noise input. It is found that the optimum generation condition for harmonic component at a small input of SNR is m and n equal 2, while for large input SNR is always n equals 2.

The operating window method is a novel approach in quality improvement. But it has not received deserved attention in academic research. If a critical factor for competing failure modes can be identified, the probability of failure can be reduced by widening the operating window of this factor. Traditional SN ratio for the operating window advocated by Taguchi has a critical shortcoming, which has been derived under the assumption that failure rates are determined by the operating window factor only. A new metric for robustness is given for the operating window method, which has relaxed the restrictive assumption of Taguchi's SN ratio. And procedures for determining optimal conditions based on the new metric is presented. The effectiveness of the proposed approach over the traditional practice is tested with the aid of a wave soldering process.
