Q&A on the Use of Qualitek-4
Q. What does Qualitek-4 do for users?
A. Qualitek-4 helps users accomplish EXPERIMENT DESIGNS and ANALYSES of results. When applying Taguchi technique, Qualitek-4 can save time and money.
Q. What is the Taguchi method?
A. Taguchi method is a special (standardized) form of a statistical technique known as Design of Experiment (DOE). Users may refer to this subject as DOE/Taguchi. The technique is primarily used by engineers and quality assurance professionals for (1) product/process design optimization and (2) production problem-solving.
Q. What kinds of activities use the DOE/Taguchi technique?
A. Product and process design activities of all kinds of manufacturing industries can benefit from DOE/Taguchi technique. Most current users today are from the automotive, electronics, plastics, food, medicine, pharmaceutical, aeronautical, and defense industries.
Q. How does one learn about the technique?
A. From seminars, self-study, application experience, and co-workers.
Q. Are there books available on the subject?
A. Several texts are available on the subject. To see a complete list of references, visit Nutek website (http://Nutek-us.com/wp-txt.html ). Also, on the Internet, search for sites under keywords: TAGUCHI, SEMINAR, TEXTBOOK, SOFTWARE, CASE SUDY, etc.
Q. Who is the author of Qualitek-4?
A. Dr. Ranjit Roy of Nutek, Inc. is the designer and author of Qualitek-4. The software follows the same design and analysis format taught by him in his seminars and as described in his textbooks.
Q. Is Qualitek-4 easy to follow even if I have not read any books by the author or taken Nutek’s seminar?
A. Qualitek-4’s capabilities and ANALYSIS steps follow a common sense (natural) approach. Perhaps this is why over 90% of its satisfied users are not those who have been through Nutek seminar on DOE/Taguchi.
Q. Can I use the software for CLASSICAL DESIGN OF EXPERIEMNT?
A. Qualitek-4 is intended for experiments that utilize Taguchi ORTHOGONAL ARRAY. While it allows users to create their own array or modify standard Orthogonal Array, it does not check for the validity of such deviations.
Q. Does the software help users learn the technique?
A. No. Although there is a large amount of information on the technique provided in the HELP section of Qualitek-4, and available free literature, it is not intended to teach users the technique. However, educated users who are familiar with the principles will find QT4’s automatic design capabilities a dependable option.
