A Comprehensive Robust Design Approach for Decision Trade-Offs in Complex Systems Design
Article introducing a technique to reduce the effects of uncertainty and incorporate flexibility in the design of complex engineering systems involving multiple decision-makers. (PDF file) From The University of Buffalo.
Enhancing Robust Design with the Aid of TRIZ and Axiomatic Design
This paper describes how to use the framework of Axiomatic Design to identify a proper system output response and bridge the gap between the conceptual design and the parameter design to facilitate the upfront robustness thinking, which is an extension to the methodology, presented in Part I. Part II builds upon the rationale presented in Part I for the proper identification of system output response in a more complex technical system. From Triz Journal.
Introduction To Robust Design (Taguchi Method)
Robust Design method, also called Taguchi Method, pioneered by Dr. Genichi Taguchi, greatly improves engineering productivity by consciously considering the noise factors and the cost of failure to ensure customer satisfaction. From Madhav S. Phadke and iSixSigma.
Taguchi Methods: Some Technical, Cultural, and Pedagogical Perspectives
The author takes a look at the strengths and weaknesses of both viewpoints. From T.N. Goh and The University of Tennessee.
