Document from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - System Science, grade: 8.46 CGPA, Saraswati College Of Engineering, course: MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, language: English, abstract: The present paper proposes a systematic design framework for cost of quality that embeds Taguchi’s method and other robustness criteria to reduce the overall COQ of a product. Robust Design is defined as reducing variation in a product without eliminating the causes of the variation. In other words, making the product or process insensitive to variation. This in turn increases the overall quality of a product making the product robust.
