Taguchi Method : When to Select a larger OA to perform Factorial Experiments

Tip #7
We always think about reducing the number of experiments (to minimize the resources equipment, materials, manpower and time) However, doing ALL / Factorial experiments is a good idea if
Conducting experiments is cheap/quick but measurements are expensive/take too long The experimental facility will NOT be available later to conduct the verification experiment We do NOT wish to conduct separate experiments for studying interactions between Control Factors
Taguchi Method : When to perform ALL / Factorial Experiments Conducting ALL / Factorial experiments is a good idea if Conducting experiments is cheap (and in-house) but measurements are expensive (to be done
elsewhere) When an apparatus is fully set-up, it may be rather easy to conduct the experiments quickly (if we are not hampered by measurements in between the experiments) Just collect all samples (that have captured the effects of NoIsE factors) Send samples (elsewhere) for measurements (make sure that these will capture the effects of NoIsE)
Taguchi Method : When to perform ALL / Factorial Experiments Conducting ALL / Factorial experiments is a good idea if We do NOT wish to conduct separate experiments for studying interactions between Control Factors
Analyze without considering interactions, Predict best combinations of control factors as well as Best results. Check this out we already HAVE the results of the best experiment If the results do not match, Evaluate the key interactions again check results If the results still do not match, Evaluate all interactions again check results
