Conventional industrial engineering considers quality costs as the cost of rework or scrap of items manufactured outside specification. Taguchi considered such private costs to the manufacturers as short-term costs, and introduced a new approach of understanding costs to society owing to non-conformance with specifications. He held that any item not manufactured to the exact specification results in some loss to the customer or the wider community. Such losses come with the customer needing to make an additional purchase or repairs due to early wear-out or the defect part not interfacing with other parts, and non-optimal utilization of the product owing to the need to build in safety margins and the like.

Most manufacturers ignore the social costs of poor quality, oblivious to the fact that such social losses are actually long term costs for them, for it finds their way back to the manufacturer as negative feedback and reduced sales. Manufacturers looking to enhance brand reputation, gain market share and generate profits thereby need to eliminate such social costs by improving product quality.

The Concept

Taguchi's loss function explains that quality does not suddenly plummet and private and social costs do not rise suddenly when products are not in conformance to specifications. Instead, the losses to the manufacturer and the society are a function of the deviance or variability from the target value or best quality level. The private and social loss is zero at the target value, and the losses gradually increase as the product specifications deviate from the target value.

In 1980s, Dr Taguchi proposed the following statement relating to the quality of a product:

"Quality is the financial Loss to society after the article is shipped".

We can rearrange the above definition and still retain the basic concept of Quality to denote a positive attribute as follows:

"Quality is the avoidance of financial loss to society after the product is shipped"

There are two major categories of loss to society with respect to the product quality:

The 1st category relates to the losses incurred as a result of harmful effects to society. ( E.g. pollution).

The 2nd category relates to the losses arising because of excessive variation in functional performances.

The following figure illustrates the difference between the conventional method and Taguchi's view of the loss function.

Here 'm' represents the target value, or the most desirable value, of the parameter under consideration. This parameter may be critical dimension, colour of the product, surface finish or any other characteristics that contributes to the customer's conception of quality. L.I and L.S in the figure 1 represent upper and lower acceptable limits of a design parameter, respectively. However, if the product lies outside these limits, it is either discarded or subjected to salvage operations. Every attempt is made to control the manufacturing process to maintain the product within these limits.

Taguchi proposed that the loss function be measured by the deviation from the ideal value. This function is continuous as shown Figure 1. Product performance begins to suffer when the design parameters deviate from the ideal or the target value. This loss function

takes the following basic quadratic form:

L(Y) = k(Y - m)²

Where L is the loss in money value, m is the point at which the characteristic should be set, Y is where the characteristic actually is set, and k is a constant that depends on the magnitude of the characteristic and the monetary unit involved. This indicates that by making a product within the specification limits, it does not necessary mean that the product is of good quality. Taguchi emphasis on optimum customer satisfaction is by developing products which meet the target value on a consistent basis.

The three characteristics that shape the definition of Taguchi loss function are:

1. Nominal - the - best.2. Smaller - the - better.3. Larger - the - better

1.NOMINAL – THE – BEST (Fig 2)

Nominal, where the best characteristic or target value is the median of the specified upper and lower acceptable limits and the losses owing to deviance from the target value rise proportionate to the extent of deviance on either side of the mean. Here an example includes the frequency settings in radio and wireless equipment. For instance, the equipment not confirming exactly with the set frequency is defective increases the social costs for repair or replacement. Although

Taguchi developed so many loss functions, many situations are approximated by the quadratic function which is called the Nominal – the – best type.

2.SMALLER – THE – BETTER (Fig 3)

Smaller-the-Better, where the ideal target value or best quality standard is zero, and the higher the actual value, the higher the private and social costs. Examples of such instances include heat loss in heat exchanger, or carbon dioxide emissions. For instance, the more heat lost by the heat exchanger, the less efficiently it functions, and the

higher the social costs.

The figure 3 shows the smaller – the – better concepts. The target value for smaller – the – better is 0. There are no negative values for the performance characteristic. Example: The radiation leakage from a microwave appliance, the response time for a computer, pollution from an automobile, out of round for a hole etc. are the performance characteristics for this concept.

3. LARGER – THE – BETTER ( Fig 4)

Larger-the-Better, where the ideal characteristic or best quality standard is infinity and the higher the actual value, the better, and the lower the actual value, the more the private and social costs. Examples of such instances include maximizing product yield from a process, agricultural output, and the like. For instance, the higher yields indicate better quality seeds, and lower yields increase the social costs. The above figure shows the concept of the Larger – the – better.

In the Larger – the – better concept, the target value is ∞ (infinity), which gives a zero loss. There are no negative values and the worst case is at y = 0. Actually, larger – the – better is the reciprocal of smaller – the – better. Example: The performance characteristics in Larger – the – better are bond strength of adhesives, welding strength etc.

Let us look at the Problem Statement given below:

a. A blueprint specification for the thickness of a dishwasher part at Parts palace is 0.325 ± 0.025 centimeters (cm). It costs $10 to scrap a bad part. Determine the Taguchi loss function.

b. A team was formed to study the dishwasher part. While continuing to work to find the root

cause of scrap, they found a way to reduce the scrap cost to $5 per part.

1) Determine the Taguchi loss function for this situation.

2) If the process deviation from target can be held at 0.015 cm, what is the Taguchi loss?

a. The Taguchi Loss Function is: L(x) = k (x - T)2

$10 = k (0.025)2

k = 16000

L(x) = k (x - T)2 = 16000 (x - T)2

b. The Taguchi Loss Function is: L(x) = k (x - T)2

1) $5 = k (0.025)2

k = 8000

L(x) = k (x - T)2 = 8000 (x - T)2

2) L(x) = 8000 (x - T)2

L(0.015) = 8000 (0.015)2 = $1.80

Conclusion: The losses may be minimized by reducing external failure.

Recommendation: Use these statistics for process analysis and adjustment.

Let us look at the Problem Statement given below:

Taguchi methods emphasised quality through robust design, not quality through inspection.

Taguchi breaks the design process into three stages:

1. System design - involves creating a working prototype

2. Parameter design - involves experimenting to find which factors influence product performance most

3. Tolerance design - involves setting tight tolerance limits for the critical factors and looser tolerance limits for less important factors.

Taguchi's Robust Design methodologies allow the designer through experiments to determine which factors most affect product performance and which factors are unimportant. The designer can focus on reducing variation on the important or critical factors. Unimportant or uncontrollable “noise” factors have negligible impact on the product performance and can be ignored.

In conclusion, if companies want to remain competitive, they have to provide quality products. To accomplish this, a company must focus on the reduction of variability of a product's characteristics around a specific target value. The traditional approach is not enough. To remain a world competitor, a company must consider the Taguchi QLF approach.

Business Process Quality ManagementBusiness Process Quality ManagementBusiness Process Quality Management

Business process Quality Management is one of the Six important elements of TQM framework given by the legendary Quality guru Dr.J.M.Juran.

The Six elements are:

(i) Customer focus (satisfying customer's needs).

(ii) Competition Quality

(iii) Continuous improvement

(iv) Empowering people and putting them into teams.

(v) Business Process Quality Management

(vi) Partnership with suppliers.

It is Business Process Quality Management, which capsules all other FIVE elements, can ensure an organisation's competitive position and growth in an ever-increasing, complex Business environment.

Business performance depends on systems and processes. These two inter-related and interwoven systems provide well formulated set of procedures for unified, integrated actions to achieve an enterprise's objectives and goals. Once the systems are clear, stipulating who should do what, process ownership can be passed on to the concerned.

Let us analyse the four words – Business, Process, Quality, Management individually.

1. Business: Management guru Peter F. Drucker described Business activity as “a social function”. “Business activity is for the creation of wealth for economic development”. Business performance needs production through well thought out process without any sort of wastages.

2. Process : Any process is aimed at transformation of all the required in-puts into an out-put which is “fit for use”, satisfying the customers in all respects (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Safety etc.,).

3. Quality:It is not merely” conformance to specification”. It should give value-addition to the customers and add to customer's delight by more than satisfying him.

4. Management : It is the responsibility of the management, to effectively and efficiently use all the resources to achieve the objectives and goals of the enterprise by avoiding every type ofprocess waste, including human resource.

In fact, BPQM is a “holistic management” approach to aligning Business Process to the wants and needs of customers. The purpose of BPQM is “Business Process Quality Optimization”. Through continuous BPQ improvement, innovation, flexibility and integrating emerging technologies, an organisation can meet the challenges at the market place. BPQM will be a “strategic asset”, if properly understood, pursued, deployed and managed. An organisation engaged in continuous BPQ improvement will have immense capacity to change, both in human and technological scales. BPQM is necessarily is a performance oriented concept and an essential part of Total Quality Management.

Let us see what our legendary guru Dr. J M Juran says about BPQM. He lists out tasks for the upper management.

1. Macro-Process ownership should be made clear.

2. Set policies, objectives and goals (it has to cascade down)

3. Make strategic plan

4. Establish systems to support.

5. Measure performance, give feed-back for corrective action.

6. Conduct performance/systems audit.

7. Deploy Quality Function Deployment.

There cannot be a better advise than that of the great quality guru.

Shri B. SUBRAMANIAM, Director, QCFI

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Report on The First SAIL Inter - Plant QC Competition-2014 Report on The First SAIL Inter - Plant QC Competition-2014 Report on The First SAIL Inter - Plant QC Competition-2014

The First SAIL Inter-Plant Quality Circles Competition-2014 was a major event for SAIL family in quality circle activity. The SIPQCC-2014 held on 27-28 June'2014 at Main Auditorium of HRD centre of Bokaro Steel Plant . Twenty Nine case studies from 8 SAIL units i.e. DSP, RSP, BSL, ASP, SSP, IISCO, CFP and RMD were presented at the convention.

A Quiz Competition was organised for all the QC groups same day evening . The winner were “ QC WE CAN DO IT” (First) from Alloy Steel Plant, Durgapur, “ QC 1713-ACHINTYA”(Second) from Bokaro Steel Plant and “ QC AGRAGAMI” (Third) from Durgapur Steel Plant.

All the dignitaries present at the dias were honoured by Sri S Chaudhuri, GM(BE) BSL by giving a ANGA-VASTRA made by Jharcraft.

Welcome address was given by GM-BE-BSL where he mentioned the inclusion of QC as a Strategic objective of SAIL. He also stressed on the necessity of strengthening QC movement in all SAIL units both its spread by increasing number of QC teams and also by increasing the number of QC projects which help in solving shop floor

problems and thereby improving productivity and profitability.

All the EDs thereafter addressed the gathering stressing on the need to increase QC activities in SAIL.

Sri Anutosh Maitra , CEO BSL gave the keynote address. He stressed on the need to increase QC activities as it not only leads to substantial savings but it is a vehicle to transform work culture of an Organization. He complimented BE deptt of BSL for organizing this Competition with a large coverage of Units with the absence of Bhilai understandable. He also lauded the idea of having a presentation on Gas Safety as part of knowledge sharing before the large gathering of employees of SAIL.

Technical Session was held at four venues concurrently where all teams presented their case studies.
