Textbook Question
Chapter 36, Problem 50SDP
Many components of products have a minimal effect on part robustness and quality. For example, the hinges in the glove compartment of an automobile do not have an impact on the owner’s satisfaction, and the glove compartment is opened so infrequently that a robust design is easy to achieve. Would you advocate using Taguchi methods (such as loss functions) on this type of component? Explain.
