Abstract
Robust design improves the fundamental function of the product or process considering noise factors in DOE. G. Taguchi has made significant advances in the use of experimental design. Taguchi methods are criticized on the basis of failure to deal with interactions, use of SIN ratio and lack of sequential nature of investigation. Response Surface Methodology deals with designing models that represents response in terms of various factors affecting it. Optimization of surface finish is achieved using both Taguchi Methods and Response Surface Methodology.
Dual response approach is a combination of Taguchi methods and RSM techniques in which primary response is optimized while satisfying conditions on a secondary response function. Dual response approach can be used to achieve the goals of the Taguchi philosophy within a more rigorous statistical methodology. My thesis compares these three methods using optimization of surface finish in end milling process.
