Reliability improvement of deformation tools with the Taguchi robust design

As we are moving to more emerging global markets, one of the most important goals of a manufacturer is to improve the reliability of its products. While the reliability may be affected by many potentially factors, some factors are more important and that they have to be identified. The values of the significant factors that can improve reliability are also important to be recommended. Taguchi´s robust design experiments provides an efficient way to achieve these goals and the concepts of the Taguchi´s method in the context of the reliability improvement are emphasized at the beginning of the paper.
