When to Focus on Robust Design

Abstract

Carl and Fred discuss the subject of robust design, what it is, and how it relates to reliability programs.

Key Points

Join Carl and Fred as they discuss the topic of Robust Design, from definition to applications in companies.

Topics include:

• What is Robust Design?
• Robust Design and Design for Reliability
• Design optimization, in spite of noises
• Taguchi methods
• Examples of Robust Design
• Is Robust Design the same as DOE?
• The output of Robust Design
• Who does Robust Design in small company?

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques, to field data analysis approaches.
