Design of experiments via Taguchi methods: orthogonal arrays Introduction The Taguchi method involves reducing the variation in a process through robust design of experiments. The overall objective of the method is to produce high quality product at low cost to the manufacturer. The Taguchi method was developed by Dr. Genichi Taguchi of Japan who maintained that variation. Therefore‚ poor quality in a process affects not only the manufacturer but also society. He developed a method for designing

The Iron-Carbon Diagram There are two iron-carbon equilibrium diagrams: - stable iron-graphite Fe-Gr - metastable iron-cementite Fe-Fe3C The stable condition usually takes a very long time to develop. The metastable diagram is of more interest. Fe3C iron carbide called cementite because it is hard. Following phases exist on Fe-Fe3C diagram: - liquid solution of iron and carbon (L) - ferrite ( ) – an interstitial solid solution of carbon in Fe (bcc). At room temperature ferrite is ductile but

Week 1-Discussion 1-Circular Flow Diagram To first explain how the circular flow diagram relates to the current economic situation‚ one must realize that the two‚ three‚ and four sector models no longer apply to the United States any more. Only the five sector model currently applies. The five sector model of the circular flow of income is a more realistic representation of the economy and has a more definitive look as to what and how economics really is in the world. In the more simplistic two

POTENTIAL ENERGY DIAGRAM In physics the terms of mechanical energy usually refers to Potential energy (U) and Kinetic Energy (K). In the absence of non-conservative‚ or dissipative forces‚ these energies obey the law of conservation of energy‚ or ΔU + ΔK = 0. That is‚ when a system is only acting under the influence of conservative forces its total energy content never changes‚ the energy just converts between forms. At any point in the cycle‚ the total energy is constant‚ U + K = Umax = Kmax

3.2 research design According to Chandran (2004) research design is an arrangement of conditions for the collection and analysis of data in a format that combines their relationship with the purpose of the study to the economy of the procedures. It works as the master plan for the collection and the analysis of data that aids in the answering of the research questions or hypothesis. Cooper and Schindler (2003) states that research design ensures that the study is relevant and applicable to the problem
