Taguchi

Taguchi refers to the methods developed by Japanese engineer Genichi Taguchi, aimed at improving product quality and performance. His approach emphasizes robust design, which means creating products that perform consistently under varying conditions. Taguchi introduced tools like experimental design to systematically test and optimize processes, reducing variability and defects. His philosophy also includes the idea of minimizing costs associated with poor quality, such as rework and waste. Overall, Taguchi's methods help manufacturers create reliable products while improving efficiency and reducing costs, ultimately leading to greater customer satisfaction.
