Taguchi loss function is a diagram of the loss for the company that actual results differ from a target value. Taguchi loss function is intended to capture not only the loss to the customer, but to society and society at large which can be measured by cost. The loss function is not to grasp what cannot be quantified. For that reason the loss of function includes increased pollution as a cost to society. In general, the loss function is shown as a parabola at the point of minimum loss directly above the target value. As she is drawn as a parabola symmetrical in most instances it is not necessarily as the loss function in a real case would be that the actual loss and could be discontinuous and asymmetric. An extremely important concept is the function that displays the weakness of the use of specifications that deal with any outcome between the values that are not rejected as equal. More often while the customer can accept an outcome in the specification they become less satisfied and more likely to find another supplier, as results leave their desired target. This concept has even more value when looking at the loss if it can be measured. While it would be nice to be able to measure all the costs it is often not possible and is worth including known but immeasurable losses in decision-making. And while paying attention to the value of the loss to society is it is also logical to calculate the loss function with respect to all customer and supplier. Here is a detailed analysis and examination costs Taguchi, philosophy and the Taguchi loss function.
1. Introduction
The word quality cannot have a specific meaning when applied to the manufacturing industry. This is basically because the word quality changes within the context it is being used. For a long time, manufacturing industries in European and American countries have worked from the basis of
