During your design of a product, Taguchi loss equation is used to understand financial loss due to deviation from your target specification. Your target specification is 25 mm where deviation range is + or -1 mm . At boundary values of deviations, it costs you about
$100
for each repair. Find out the value of
k
and estimate the value of financial loss when you deviate 0.5 mm from your target value. Hint:
L(x)=k(x-T)^(2)
L(x)
: financial loss due to deviation X : actual value T: target value
k=50,L(0.5mm)=$12.5
.
k=100,L(0.5mm)=$25
.
k=90,L(0.4mm)=$20
.
k=25,L(0.4mm)=$6.25
.
k=1,L(0.5mm)=$0.25
