A Taguchi robust design method with an L9 orthogonal array and larger-the-better characteristics was implemented to optimize experimental conditions for the hydrolysis of raw anchovy using a pressure-assisted enzymatic reaction method. The degree of hydrolysis (DH), nitrogen recovery (NR) and yield were considered as the response parameters. Pressure, reaction temperature, reaction time, and mixed enzyme amount were chosen as control parameters. As a result of the Taguchi analysis in this study, the pressure was found to be the most influential parameter on DH and NR. The amount of mixed enzyme in the reaction also had a significant effect on DH and NR. Meanwhile, the optimum values were confirmed to be similar at 95% confidence and 5% significance level through analysis of variance (ANOVA). Furthermore, new hydrolysates at optimum conditions and control hydrolysates at atmospheric pressure were compared in terms of the DH, resulting in the improvement of DH by more than 52.6%.

This paper presents the approach of design parameters optimization based on Taguchi method for the uniformity of outlet pressure in a plasma discharge chamber. The key issue of a plasma discharge chamber is to have the uniformity of outlet pressure which can make a high performance of surface treatment. To extend the length of a outlet from 60mm to 250mm with the uniformity, This study optimally designed the middle holes, outlet width and height, and diameter of the second chamber by using SolidWorks and flow simulation tool. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a empirical study of using Taguchi Method for the Entrepreneurial Orientation and Financial Performance. In this study, three factors of Entrepreneurial Orientation, innovation, pro-activity and risk taking, are used of the control factors and an element, period of establishment, is chosen as a noise factor. In order to carry out this research, we obtained 200 survey sheets and performed the reliability and validity analysis of the questionnaires and then the experiment was conducted by Taguchi's experimental design. To improve Financial Performance under the noise factor of period of establishment, optimal condition are as follows; the two factors of Entrepreneurial Orientation, innovation, pro-activity should be maintained to a high level. Also, other factor, risk taking should be performed as the level that the company has maintained. Through this paper, we find out that Taguchi method is applicable for analysis of questionnaire.

In aquaculture operations with nets including scallop aquaculture, there exist many problems as the management of fishing gears is dependent on the traditional method that has been using the pure labor forces. These give rise to the environmental contamination and increase of total fishery costs because they prevent the fishermen from reusing the fishing gears. Due to the eco-friendly issues and aggravation of the management cost, the need to automate the washing operation of the fishing gears has been required consistently. In this study, development of scallop fishing gear washing apparatus was carried out. We conducted the preliminary experiments applying Taguchi experimental method in order to find the influential factors and optimal levels to the washing performance. Based on these result, we designed the structure and the kinematic mechanism of the fishing gear washer. Final prototype was verified to be effective in maximizing the washing rate through the performance test.

As the demand for car industry increase worldwide and car models diversify, industry of automobile parts also keep pace and grows day by day. However, since industry of automobile parts is staying small and there are only few study on basic knowledge of productivity, financial competitiveness is greatly insufficient. Among accessory processing, there are more parts such as key home or bolt hole rather than general turning operation, therefore, currently study on intermittence process is exigent. This thesis studied on machinability of Ductile cast iron(FCD 500) which is used for car break desk to help this kind of situation. Also it studied machinability by using Taguchi method which can get the best performance with few tests.

Recently, the engineering designer of injection mold has become more and more dependent on the CAE. In the design factors of injection mold, the shrinkage rate should be considered as one of the important performances to produce the reliable products. Therefore, the shrinkage rate can be mostly calculated by the MoldFlow and CATIA in the design process. However, it is not easy to predict the shrinkage rate of a plastic injection mold in its design process because the analysis can take minutes to hours, the high computational costs of performing the analysis limit their use in design optimization. In this study, the surrogate models based on the Taguchi Design in order to optimize the shrinkage rate of bevel gear injection mold is used instead of the original models, facilitating design optimal design.

  The powder blasting process has become an important machining technique for the cost effective fabrication of micro devices. This process is similar to sand blasting, and effectively removes hard and brittle materials. A large number of investigations o

Finding an optimal solution in MADM(Multi-Attribute Decision-Making) problems is difficult, when the number of alternatives, or that of attributes is relatively large. Most of the existing mathematical approaches arrive at a final solution on the basis of many unrealistic assumptions, without reflecting the decision-maker's preference structure exactly. In this paper we suggest a model that helps us find a group consensus without assessing these parameters in specific cardinal values. Therefore, This research provides a comprehensive Decision Making of the theory and methods applicable to the analysis of decisions that involve risk and multiple criteria attributes. after, The emphasis of the procedure will be on developments from the fields of decisions analysis and utility theory of Taguchi Method. This theoretical development will be illustrated through the discussion of several real-world application and a case study. When the multiple number of decision makers are involved in the decision making procedure, the problem of uncertainties invariably occurs, because of the different views between them. In this paper, New decision making model using Taguchi Method is applied to effectively model the multi-attribute-decision making(MADM) procedure in the uncertainties dominated two area(quantitative and qualitative factors), Quantitative factors evaluation is used Loss Function of Taguchi, qualitative factors evaluation is used S₩N ratio by each specialist. thus it can be used for aiding of preferable alternative. as a result, We will be proved efficiency about New decision making model of applied Taguchi Method with Analytical presentation of all the expecting outcomes when a specific strategy or an alternative plan is selected under expecting future environment.
