Taguchi analysis
Loss function
L(x) = k(x-T)2
where
x = any individual value of the quality characteristic
T = target quality value
k = constant = L(x) / (x-T)2
Average or expected loss, variance known
E[L(x)] = k(σ2 + D2)
where
σ2 = Variance of quality characteristic
D2 = ( x – T)2
Note: x is the mean quality characteristic. D2 is zero if the mean
equals the target.

Taguchi analysis (cont.)
Average or expected loss, variance unkown
E[L(x)] = k[Σ ( x – T)2 / n]
When smaller is better (e.g., percent of impurities)
L(x) = kx2
When larger is better (e.g., product life)
L(x) = k (1/x2)

• Control factors are used to convert the mean of sample ranges
( R ) to:
(1) standard deviation estimates for individual observations,
and
(2) standard error estimates for means and ranges of samples
For example, an estimate of the population standard deviation
of individual observations (σx) is:
σx = R / d2
Quality

Reference guide to control factors
(cont.)
• Note that control factors depend on the sample size n.
• Relationships amongst control factors:
A2 = 3 / (d2 x n1/2)
D4 = 1 + 3 x d3/d2
D3 = 1 – 3 x d3/d2, unless the result is negative, then D3 = 0
A = 3 / n1/2
D2 = d2 + 3d3
D1 = d2 – 3d3, unless the result is negative, then D1 = 0

Process capability analysis
1. Compute the mean of sample means ( X ).
2. Compute the mean of sample ranges ( R ).
3. Estimate the population standard deviation (σx):
σx = R / d2
4. Estimate the natural tolerance of the process:
Natural tolerance = 6σx
5. Determine the specification limits:
USL = Upper specification limit
LSL = Lower specification limit
Quality

6. Compute capability indices:
Process capability potential
Cp = (USL – LSL) / 6σx
Upper capability index
CpU = (USL – X ) / 3σx
Lower capability index
CpL = ( X – LSL) / 3σx
Process capability index
Cpk = Minimum (CpU, CpL)

Mean-Range control chart
MR-CHART
1. Compute the mean of sample means ( X ).
2. Compute the mean of sample ranges ( R ).
3. Set 3-std.-dev. control limits for the sample means:
UCL = X + A2R
LCL = X – A2R
4. Set 3-std.-dev. control limits for the sample ranges:
UCL = D4R
LCL = D3R
Quality

Control chart for percentage defective
in a sample — P-CHART
1. Compute the mean percentage defective ( P ) for all samples:
P = Total nbr. of units defective / Total nbr. of units sampled
2. Compute an individual standard error (SP ) for each sample:
SP = [( P (1-P ))/n]1/2
Note: n is the sample size, not the total units sampled.
If n is constant, each sample has the same standard error.
3. Set 3-std.-dev. control limits:
UCL = P + 3SP
LCL = P – 3SP
Quality
12
Control chart for individual
observations — I-CHART
1. Compute the mean observation value ( X )
X = Sum of observation values / N
where N is the number of observations
2. Compute moving range absolute values, starting at obs. nbr. 2:
Moving range for obs. 2 = obs. 2 – obs. 1
Moving range for obs. 3 = obs. 3 – obs. 2
…
Moving range for obs. N = obs. N – obs. N – 1
3. Compute the mean of the moving ranges ( R ):
R = Sum of the moving ranges / N – 1
Quality

Control chart for individual
observations — I-CHART (cont.)
4. Estimate the population standard deviation (σX):
σX = R / d2
Note: Sample size is always 2, so d2 = 1.128.
5. Set 3-std.-dev. control limits:
UCL = X + 3σX
LCL = X – 3σX
Quality
14
Control chart for number of defects
per unit — C/U-CHART
1. Compute the mean nbr. of defects per unit ( C ) for all samples:
C = Total nbr. of defects observed / Total nbr. of units sampled
2. Compute an individual standard error for each sample:
SC = ( C / n)1/2
Note: n is the sample size, not the total units sampled.
If n is constant, each sample has the same standard error.
3. Set 3-std.-dev. control limits:
UCL = C + 3SC
LCL = C – 3SC
Notes:
● If the sample size is constant, the chart is a C-CHART.
● If the sample size varies, the chart is a U-CHART.
● Computations are the same in either case.

Seasonal adjustment of quality
observations
1. Compute a 4-quarter or 12-month moving average. Position the first
average as follows:
a.
Quarterly: Place the first average opposite the 3rd quarter. The first
2 quarters and the last quarter have no moving average.
b.
Monthly: Place the first average opposite the 7th month. The first 6
months and the last 5 months have no moving average.
2. Divide each data observation by the corresponding moving average.
3. Compute a mean ratio for each quarter or month.
4. Compute a normalization factor to adjust the mean ratios so that they sum
to 4 (quarterly) or 12 (monthly):
a.
Quarterly: Normalization factor = 4 / Sum of mean ratios
b.
Monthly: Normalization factor = 12 / Sum of mean ratios
Quality
16
Seasonal adjustment of quality
observations (cont.)
5. Multiply each mean ratio by the normalization factor to get a set
of final seasonal indices. Each quarter or month has an
individual index.
6. Deseasonalize each data observation by dividing by the
appropriate seasonal index.
7. Develop a control chart for the deseasonalized (seasonallyadjusted) data.
