Question

What does the Taguchi loss function suggest about the issue of tolerance? a. that tolerance has no relationship to the cost of quality b. that tolerances should be set much looser than assumed necessary by the traditional perspective c. that tolerances should be set much tighter than assumed necessary by the traditional perspective d. that organizations should a adopt a policy that does not allow any tolerances

Answer 1

The answer is option C) The Taguchi loss function suggests that tolerances should be set much tighter than assumed necessary by the traditional perspective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taguchi Method is a process used in product optimization method by conducting and evaluating results of matrix experiments to determine the best levels of control factors.

The primary goal is to keep the variance in the output very low even in the presence of noise inputs. This means that if the product dimension goes out of the tolerance limit the quality of the product drops suddenly.

The Taguchi loss function suggests that tolerances should be set much tighter than assumed necessary by the traditional perspective as a quality control measure.
