About the program The Tguch I TechniqueE is a powerful tool to design robust products and processes; to solve production problems by reduced performance variations. During the workshop the participants would be having hands - on experience to implement the methodology effectively in various fields.

Course Description This 4-day seminar cum workshop will prepare the participants for immediate application of the TAGUCHI TECHNIQUE to their projects. Participants will understand how improvement in consistency is measured in statistical terms and how experiments can be designed to improve it. The Taguchi robust design strategy, which deals with treatment of the uncontrollable factors and how to make the performance insensitive to the influence of the uncontrollable factors by controlling those factors that can be controlled, will also be covered in this course. . Practical application steps, including brainstorming, team approach and consensus decisions are demonstrated through example project applications. Concepts covered in  lectures are practiced and tested using numerous class exercises.  A discussion of advance techniques and analysis of experimental results are covered during the last two days.

Topics to be covered

•       Overview of the Taguchi concepts of quality engineering

•       Measuring cost of quality by loss function

•       Review basic concepts in experimental design

•       Project objective and overall evaluation criteria

•       Experiments designed using orthogonal arrays

•       Experiments to study interaction

•       Basic analysis and strategy for experimentation

•       Experiments with mixed level factors

•       Combination design (special design tool)

•       Strategy for robust designs

•       Analysis of results

•       Design and analysis using computer software

•        Group reviews &  exercise

•        Computer software (Qualitek – 4)

 


Computer usage
Practical project applications are accomplished through hands-on computer exercises. Qualitek – 4 software (for design and analysis of Taguchi experiments) is used for the computer workshop. The organizing institute will provide computer facility to the participants during the workshop. However if the participants are having their own laptop computers they are requested to bring them.

Faculty
Dr. Ranjit K. Roy
, Ph.D., is an adjunct Professor (since 1976) with Oakland University and an internationally renowned consultant  and trainer specializing in Taguchi approach of quality improvement. Dr. Roy has begun his career as senior design engineer with Burroughs Corporation following completion of graduate studies in engineering a the University of Missouri-Rolla in 1972. He then worked for General Motors Corp.(1976-1987) assuming various engineering responsibilities with his last position as that of reliability manger. Dr. Roy is a fellow of the American Society of  Quality.  He is the author of two text books on the Taguchi technique and of Qualitek-4 software.

 Dr. S. Rajesham, Ph.D (IIT Madras) has been working in close association with Dr.Roy in the area of quality improvement since about a decade ago. He has applied Taguchi approach in research and presented papers in various forums as well as conducted workshops in educational institutions in India on this methodology. Dr. Rajesham is presently the Principal of PRRM engineering College, Shabad. He has also served in the faculties of IIT Madras (1968-85), University of Technology, Malaysia (1983-98), and Arunai Engineering College, Tiruvannamalai (Professor & Dean, 2000-02).
