The target costing technique, mathematically discussed by Sauers, only uses the p C index along with Taguchi loss function and X -R control charts to setup goal control limits. The new specification limits derived from Taguchi loss function is linked through the p C value to X -R control charts to obtain goal control limits. In this study, the target costing technique is exploited by further co...

Resistance spot welding process is one of the very useful and widely utilized joining processes in automobile industry due to its high working speed, high productivity, flexibility and economical cost operation. In this paper various optimization techniques like Taguchi method, Artificial neural network (ANN), Genetic algorithm (GA) etc. and their applications are discussed to get the optimum w...

In this paper we investigate comparative analysis of different antenna parameter (directivity, side lobe level and convergence time ) by using different type of optimizing technique such as Taguchi‟s, PSO, RCGA for synthesis of broad side and end fire linear antenna array in WI-MAX application. On ampere current is provided to each element and radiated power is decreases and radiation intensity...

This paper describes the tool life prediction model with end milling EN31 tool steel using P30 Tungsten uncoated carbide tool. The data set from the Taguchi method design is taken. For discussion the effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on tool life of P30 are considered. This paper suggests a novel technique for the tool wear measurement based on machine vision. Tool images are...

The ever-increasing complexity of software systems makes them hard to comprehend, predict and tune due to emergent properties and non-deterministic behaviour. Complexity arises from the size of software systems and the wide variety of possible operating environments: the increasing choice of platforms and communication policies leads to ever more complex performance characteristics. In addition...

Experimental design is a powerful approach to study the impact of potential variables affecting systems and provides spontaneous insight for continuous improvement possibilities. Most research in system design has focused on problems with a single characteristic or response. This paper is concerned with the application of a design method to problems with multiple characteristics. The study sequ...
