Taguchi robust design as a way to optimize rubber glove process

In this paper, Taguchi concept of robust process design and the classical statistical experimental design methodology are integrated as a way of improving both the product quality and efficiency. Hence, it is a systematic method of optimizing a production process, and is concerned with productivity...
