Example of a Static Taguchi design (Nominal the best : seal strength case) Suppose you are an engineer and need to evaluate the factors that affect the seal strength of plastic bags used to ship your product. You have identified three controllable factors (Temperature, Pressure, and Thickness) and two noise conditions (Noise 1 and Noise 2) that may affect seal strength. You want to ensure that seal strength meets specifications. If the seal is too weak, it may break, contaminating the product and resulting in returns. If the seal is too strong, customers may have difficulty opening the bag. The target specification is 18. 1 2 3 4 5 Open the worksheet SEAL. MTW. The design and response data have been saved for you. Choose Stat > DOE > Taguchi > Analyze Taguchi Design. In Response data are in, enter Noise 1 Noise 2. Click Graphs. Under Generate plots of main effects and selected interactions for, check Standard deviations. Click OK. Click Tables. Under Display response tables for, check Standard deviations.

Interpreting the Results - Static Taguchi Design n The response tables show the average of the selected characteristic for each level of the factors. The response tables include ranks based on Delta statistics, which compare the relative magnitude of effects. The Delta statistic is the highest average for each factor minus the lowest average for each factor. Ranks are assigned based on Delta values; rank 1 is assigned to the highest Delta value, rank 2 to the second highest Delta value, and so on. The main effects plot provides a graph of the averages in the response table. n Look at the response tables and main effects plots for the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios to see which factors have the greatest effect on S/N ratio, which in this example is nominalis-best.

n In this example, the factor with the biggest impact on the S/N ratio is Pressure (Delta = 8. 29, Rank = 1). If you look at the response tables and main effects plot for S/N ratio, you can see that Pressure 36 and Pressure 40 have almost the same average S/N ratio (30. 2117 and 30. 1406). n Here, the response table and main effects plots for mean both show that the factor with the greatest effect on the mean is Temperature (Delta = 1. 95, Rank = 1). The response table and main effects plots for standard deviation both show that the factor with the greatest effect on the standard deviation is Pressure (Delta = 0. 94, Rank = 1). Next, you may want to use Predict Results to see how different factor settings affect S/N ratios and response characteristics - see Example of predicting results. n © All Rights Reserved. 2000 Minitab, Inc.

We will now predict results for the seal strength experiment. You had identified three controllable factors that you thought would influence seal strength: Temperature, Pressure, and Thickness. Because you first want to maximize the signal-tonoise (S/N) ratio, you chose factor settings that increase S/N ratios: Temperature 60, Pressure 36, and Thickness 1. 25. Slide 11

Interpreting the Results Predicting Results n n The predicted results for the chosen factor settings are: S/N ratio of 33. 8551, mean of 17. 5889, and standard deviation of 0. 439978. Next, you might run an experiment using these factor settings to test the accuracy of the model The predicted values for the standard deviation and log of the standard deviation use different models of the data.
