Process Optimization

The Taguchi - Methods - An expert methodology to achieve robust products and processes.

Benefits of Taguchi - Methods:

The Japanese gentleman Taguchi Gen'ichi developed experimental test methods to minimize the statistical dispersion related to a given reference value. He postulated that you can only achieve this minimum loss if the product, the processes and the associated systems are robust in design and easily applied daily in customer's hands.

Our Range of Services:

We will introduce your staff to the Taguchi methods. You can decide whether the course is held in your local facility or in a perfectly equipped conference center (to keep the daily routines at bay). We can also offer to introduce the Taguchi method in your company as a consulting service. In this case our experts will explain the requirements to you and your staff in a step by step manner, defining all necessary activities and parameters. This way you and your staff will gain practical experience in the Taguchi methods and learn to apply them to the optimization of your processes and products.

Content:

Participants acquire a thorough understanding of the methods and their scope. They learn how to apply them in their daily decision making process, and how to optimize production and design by reducing variability. They also learn how to stabilize product design by considering the most economical solution.
