Evaluating Robust Product Design in Production Line: An Exploratory Investigation on Response Surface Methodology
Abstract
Inadequate control of a production line can result in catastrophic ramifications, which may lead to low-quality products. For this reason, enhancing the quality of product in the first stages of development requires considerable attention. In this regard, robust parameter design for product has emerged as an outstanding tool. This article presents a robust parameter design in one product, into which the concept of response surface methodology has been infused. Through this, by encompassing the variance and mean of response variable, an integrated approach is presented to combine three phases of product development: system design, parameter design, and tolerance design. Moreover, to survive in a competitive market, companies must produce appealing products. Therefore, we resorted to a feasible scheme to enhance customer satisfaction in the production process through the implementation of the desirability function concept. To approve the suitability of the presented method, it has been executed in an actual case study. Research results emphasize that the demonstrated model is more effective than dual-response and mean-square error techniques.
