With society focusing more and more on environmental issues, the recycling of materials of all types has become an important concern. In this paper, optimization method is developed for reducing cost and improving quality in mill scale recycling. An experimental investigation into the process parameter effects is presented to determine the optimum configuration of parameters for performance, quality and cost. Taguchi's optimization approach was used to obtain the optimal parameters. The significant parameters were identified and their effects on mill scale recycling were studied. As a results, a confirmation experiment with the optimal levels of process parameters was carried out in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Taguchi method.

As the concern for a global energy conservation and environmental protection are increasing, it has been more important thing to correspond with CFC depletion. Alternate refrigerants have merit such as lower global warming effect, but also have demerits such as lower efficiency, miscibility, increasing noise and poor reliability problems. Then we have to develop more efficient, silent and robust compressors to satisfying world-wide demand. In this paper, parametric study on rotary compressor muffler for a room air-conditioner was carried out to investigate the effect of important design variables on noise by using Taguchi robust design method with signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio. Taguchi method seems to be helpful for finding optimum value of design variables for noise level. We also applied neural network to find optimal value of design variables.

Recently, the severe competition in the internet shopping mall has forced firms to increase the customer satisfaction and to enhance service quality Despite the internet shopping mall's fast and superficial growth and extraordinary potential, study on (actors affecting service quality based on its characteristics is meager. Most researchers have studied on the service quality related with the internal shopping mall by just applying measurement items in internet environment. This paper tries to analyze whether the internet shopping mall can be reorganized by introducing factors of service quality specifically with reference to the internet showing mall. In addition, this study focuses on developing the method to measure the service quality more effectively. For this purpose, this study applies the Taguchi Method using quality loss function (QLF) which can be used to measure quality quantitatively. The proposed method provides the measurement of the internet shopping mall's service quality and offers to the practitioner a measurement tools suitable for service industry.

A semi-anechoic termination is necessary in the muffler transmission loss test rig in order to suppress the sound reflection effects in the downstream. The reflected sound can distort the measured transmission loss curves. However, there exists only general guide about how to manufacture a semi-anechoic termination. In this study, Taguchi's method was used to design a semi-anechoic termination more efficiently.

In this paper, the prediction for the optimized bead geometry such as bead width, height, penetration and bead area in the Gas Metal Arc (GMA) welding with Taguchi method is presented. An orthogonal array, and the Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio employed to investigate the welding quality characteristics together in the selection of process parameters in the GMA welding process, to analyze the effect of each process parameter on the bead geometry and to finally determine the process parameters with the optimal bead geometry. Experimental results fi-om this research show that the Taguchi method provides an effective tool to enhance the accuracy of the optimized bead geometry.

In this study, the prediction on the quality of tools after coating process has been investigated. Under different coating conditions, cutting resistances have been obtained and analyzed with a tool dynamometer to provide optimized coating conditions. The optimized coating conditions Lhave been computed with the most effective factors found by S/N ratio of Taguchi method. To evaluate the influence of the factors on cutting efficiency through the minimum of number of experiment times, the way of neural network design using Taguchi method has been employed.

The optimal design of a large-size fully hydraulic breaker is studied in this paper. Mathematical modeling of the breaker is established and verified by experiments. Through sensitivity analysis, the key design parameters of the breaker are selected, which mostly affect the performance of the breaker. Taguchi method is used to optimize the key design parameters in order to maximize the output power through simulation using AMESim. As a result, the impact energy is increased by 18.9% and the output power is increased by 12.4% compared with the current design. The pressure pulsation in the supply line is also reduced by the optimization.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a empirical study of using Taguchi Method for the Entrepreneurial Orientation and Financial Performance. In this study, three factors of Entrepreneurial Orientation, innovation, pro-activity and risk taking, are used of the control factors and an element, period of establishment, is chosen as a noise factor. In order to carry out this research, we obtained 200 survey sheets and performed the reliability and validity analysis of the questionnaires and then the experiment was conducted by Taguchi's experimental design. To improve Financial Performance under the noise factor of period of establishment, optimal condition are as follows; the two factors of Entrepreneurial Orientation, innovation, pro-activity should be maintained to a high level. Also, other factor, risk taking should be performed as the level that the company has maintained. Through this paper, we find out that Taguchi method is applicable for analysis of questionnaire.
