The Taguchi method is a statistical approach to quality control, which aims to improve the quality of a product or process by reducing variability and minimizing the impact of factors that can cause defects or failures. It was developed by Dr. Genichi Taguchi, a Japanese engineer, in the 1950s and has since been widely used in industries such as manufacturing, engineering, and software development to optimize product design and production processes. The Taguchi method involves the use of experimental design techniques, statistical analysis, and optimization algorithms to identify and control the key parameters that affect quality, and to find the optimal settings that minimize the impact of noise factors and provide robustness against variation.
