Robust parameter design and

+ Robust parameter design (RPD): an approach to
product realization activities that emphasizes
choosing the levels of controllable
factors( parameters) in a process or product to
achieve two objectives
To ensure that the mean of output response is at a
desired level or target
To ensure that vailability around the Target value is
as small as possible
* When and PRD study is a conducted on a process it
is usually called a process robustness a study
* Developed by Genichi Taguchi (1980)

Robust parameter design and
process robustness studies
A robust design problem usually Focuses on one or more of the
following:
Designing systems that are insensitive to environmental factors that
can affect performance once the system is deployed in the field
Designing products so that they are insensitive to the variability
transmitted by the components of the system.
Designing processes so that they're manufactured product will be as
close as possible to the desired target specifications even though
some process variables are impossible to control precisely.
Determining the operating conditions for a process so that the crucial
process characteristics are as close as possible to the desired target
values and vailability around this target is minimized.

Taguchi's approach is to construct separate
designs in the controllable factors and noise
factors, and to cross them.
Both designs are based on orthogonal arrays,
which include fractional factorial design matrices:
an inner array design in the controllable
factors
an outer array design in the noise factors.
The crossed design uses every combination of a
treatment in the controllable factors and a
treatment in the noise factors.
Taguchi's analysis of the resulting data differs from
the conventional statistical model.

Controversy about experimental procedure and
data analysis methods (Taguchi's my toes are
usually inefficient or ineffective)
Response surface methodology (RSM) was
developed as an approach to the RPD

Certain types of variables cause variability in
the important system response

CROSSED ARRAY DESIGNS
¢ The original Taguchi methodology for the RPD
problem revolved around the use of a
statistical design for the controllable variables
and another statistical design for the noise
variables. Then these two designs were
"crossed" This type of experimental design
was called a crossed array design.

CROSSED ARRAY DESIGNS
¢ An important point about the crossed array
design is that it provides information about
interactions between controllable factors and
noise factors. These interactions are crucial to
the solution of an RPD problem

ANALYSIS OF THE CROSSED
ARRAY DESIGN
* we summarize the data from a crossed array
experiment with two statistics: the average of each
observation in the inner array across all runs in the
outer array and a summary statistic that attempted to
combine information about the mean and variance,
called the signal-to-noise ratio result in (1) the
mean as close as possible to the desired target and
(2) a maximum value of the signal-to-noise ratio.
DOX 6E Montgomery 11
صفحه 12:
* Amore appropriate analysis for a crossed array design
is to model the mean and variance of the response
directly, where the sample mean and sample variance
for each observation in the inner array is computed
across all runs in the outer array. Consequently,
choosing the levels of the controllable variables
to optimize the mean and simultaneously minimize
the variability is a valid approach.

variables, is often called a response model.
Unless at least one of the regression
coefficients 6,, and 6,, is nonzero, there will
be no robust design problem

صفحه 14:
COMBINED ARRAY DESIGNS
AND THE RESPONSE MODEL
APPROACH
An important advantage of the response model
approach is that both the controllable factors and the
noise: factors can be placed in a single experimental
design; that is, the inner and outer array structure of
the Taguchi approach can be avoided.
We usually call the design containing both
controllable and noise factors a combined array
design
DOX 6E Montgomery 14
صفحه 15:
COMBINED ARRAY DESIGNS

APPROACH
we assume that noise variables are random
variables, although they are controllable for
purposes of an experiment. Specifically, we
assume that the noise variables are expressed
in coded units, that they have expected value
zero, variance 62,, and if there are several
noise variables, they have zero covariances.
Under these assumptions, it is easy to finda

square of the slope of the fitted response model

squares estimates from the response model and
replace 6? in the variance model by the residual

CHOICE OF DESIGNS
* The selection of the experimental design is a
very important aspect of an RPD problem.
Generally, the combined array approach will
result in smaller designs that will be obtained
with a crossed array. Also, the response
modeling approach allows direct incorporation
of the controllable factor-noise factor
interactions, which is usually superior to direct
mean and variance modeling. If all of the design
factors are at two levels, a resolution V design
is a good choice for an RPD study
