Taguchi Method is explained in brief and one of the textile processes, called spinning process, is optimised by using Taguchi method for manufacturing optimum packing density of different technologies yarns. The effect of process variables like: lap hank, card draft, draft/doublings and drafts at speed frame, ring frame, rotor and air-jet spinning machine on packing density parameters of respec...

Current environmental issues and government requirements, together with pressure from the market other stakeholders, emphasise importance of partner selection in constructing operating sustainable supply chains. Strategic items, which carry both high risk purchase, are particularly important This paper presents an integrated decision-making model, aims to solve order allocation problem for stra...

The aim of this study is to find the controlled factors affecting mass density combined Al2O3/Cu. All experiments were carried out using powder metallurgy. Experiments with four controllable processing parameters, namely milling time, compaction pressure, sintering temperature, and holding time. L18 mixed-level Taguchi Orthogonal Array was used for experimental because it basis analysis method....

BACKGROUND: The control of proliferation, differentiation and survival of normal and malignant cells in the tumour microenvironment is under the control of a wide range of different factors, including cell:cell interactions, cytokines, growth factors and hormonal influences. However, the ways in which these factors interact are poorly understood. In order to compare the effects of multiple vari...

With the aim to improve the mass rearing feasibility of tobacco budworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), design of experimental methodology using Taguchi orthogonal array was applied. To do so, the effect of 16 ingredients of an artificial diet including bean, wheat germ powder, Nipagin, ascorbic acid, formaldehyde, oil, agar, distilled water, ascorbate, yeast, chloramphen...

Planning the power distribution network is critical and challenging; main challenges include multiple costs involved, selecting appropriate locations of different nodes at minimal cost, minimizing cost energy loss for both primary secondary networks. Literature on presents approaches, however, lacks to address several issues complex networks many aspects are yet be explored; example, uncertain ...

In this article, a new method termed the Taguchi-Pareto-Box Behnken design teaching learning-based optimization (TPBBD–TLBO) was developed to optimize boring process, which promotes surface roughness as output. At same time, speed, feed, and depth of cut are taken inputs. The case examines experimental data from literature on IS 2062 E250 steel plates. proposed draws recent idea that argues for...

costly. This paper investigated the manufacture of double crowned gears by traditional gear shaving machine. Taguchi Method was applied to find critical parameters in the shaving process and the transmission error had also been improved through the process of robust design.

In this paper, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GAs) are used for the design of solar flat-plate collectors. It is proved in this paper that by using the Taguchi method for selecting the data required for training the ANN is very effective in allowing the network to learn the behavior of the system satisfactorily. The parameters on which the flat-plate collector design ...
