40 minutes Posted Aug 18, 2023 at 8:13 am.
Introduction.
What is the Taguchi method? (Summary)
Would a Taguchi method analysis point out risks and provide solutions about how to change the product design and/or manufacturing processes so the product could be made consistently well?
Example: Plastic injection molding.
Taguchi method is not a recent innovation, it's a well-established methodology.
What do you need for good finished products?
Benefits of doing early Taguchi analysis.
The concept of value loss.
How do teams who try to develop a new product without using the Taguchi methodology usually get on?
When to follow a Taguchi testing approach?
Caution: Statistical approaches are not a magic bullet.

Renaud and our senior engineer Paul Adams discuss the Taguchi method, also known as Robust Design. The Taguchi method is a tool used in engineering and manufacturing to improve product and process quality and reduce defects at an early stage. It is a statistical analysis approach used early in the product development process that reduces your costs and improves product quality and reliability, so is a popular way to develop products that are less risky to manufacture.
