The Mahalanobis-Taguchi system based on statistical modeling

Abstract

The Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MT) system, a representative methodology of the Taguchi method, has seen wide acceptance, mainly in the manufacturing industry of Japan. However, when applying the MT system to the actual problem in accordance with the conventional analysis procedure, it is not always possible to conduct an appropriate analysis. The MT system is applied to data from various fields where a demand for practical applications exists. Therefore, in this research, we propose a novel analysis framework based on the statistical modeling in order to deal with actual problems adequately and flexibly.
