Description …..

The Taguchi method of experimental design is a popular statistical technique utilized by the manufacturing industry today. Qualite-4 is designed to automatically design and analyze results of Taguchi experiments.  Using its enhanced design capabilities, experienced users can layout experiments in a matter of minutes.  When results are entered and the type of analysis indicated, QT4 readily computes main effect, performs ANOVA, determines optimum condition, and prints presentation quality reports.

Experiment Planning – While there is not much computation involved in experiment planning that Qalitek-4 performs, it provides users with detailed descriptions of the process recommended by expert practitioners. Whether you are working as a single-person project or a team comprising of larger number of participants, you would benefit by following the steps recommended in PLAN menu item in the software.

Experiment Design – To help you design your experiments, QT4 allows you to do it yourself or in an automatic design option, lets you simply indicate what are your factors and levels, and then it selects the array and assigns the factors to the appropriate columns. While automatic design can handle most of your common experiment designs, the manual design option allows you to create special designs to suit your needs. Once you are satisfied with your experiment design, QT4 readily describes the recipes for you to carry out the experiments. It also suggests the random order of conducting each of the experiments, which are described in separate pages to resemble a work order.

Analysis – The three basic steps in analysis; Main Effect, ANOVA, and Optimum studies are carried out in sequence with click of OK buttons. Analyses can be performed using Standard or S/N for Smaller, Bigger, Nominal or Dynamic Characteristics.

Additional Attractive Features – Automatic test of the presence of interaction, Plot of interaction between two, three and four level factors, ……..

To: The Educators of the Taguchi Methods

            Subject: Free Qualitek-4 Software for Design and Analysis of the Taguchi Experiments

Based on your (or your associates’) highly effective YouTube tutorial/presentation on the Taguchi Method, I would like to make you aware of our complimentary Qualitek-4 software and some supportive application literature. I would appreciate it very much if you kindly forward this email to the specialists in your organization involved in teaching, consulting, or creating YouTube tutorials on the subject.

Announcement: Qualitek-4 Software for Design and Analysis of the Taguchi Experiments

Since the introduction in the mid-1990s, many of you kindly sponsored our seminars/workshops on the Taguchi DOE techniques that made use of our Qualitek-4 software. Over the past three decades, many academicians and researchers worldwide also effectively used it for their research and classroom teaching. Now that Qualitek-4 is no longer available for sale and Nutek Inc. (1987-2016) is closed for business, I’m able to make the full-featured version available to all at no cost. The installable ZIP file with a FREE user license along with some related literature is downloadable from https://qt4.link/  and several other shareware/Freeware sites [or Download direct: https://qt4.link/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Qualitek-4_Install_Files.zip ] – RKR 240203    Linkedin Postings.

New Additions of Taguchi Educators:

To: Antu Guha,

It turns out our good old Qualitek-4 software which has not been updated beyond Windows 7, still works for the current versions of Windows is available through many shareware sites, and is being used by few. This encouraged me to package the software as a FREEWARE and allow download with a free user’s license. Recently I posted the below Announcement on Linkedin. I hope you will visit the site (http://QT4.Link ), and surely share with any of your professional friends who might be involved in the subject area.

Dear Achintiya, Prabhu & Benoy,

You probably didn’t know, that when I was working Taguchi Methods and the Qualitek-4 software which I authored were the bread and butter of my business for 30 years (1987-2016) Now that I’m retired I decided to make it available to all at no cost (see below).

Hope you take time to visit the site and, of course, share it with any of your professional friends who could benefit from it (Perhaps, post it in your Linkedin network.).  – Best regards.  – Ranjit

About DR. Amit Ball:

I came to know Amit about eight years ago while he was still pursuing his doctoral research in the school in India where I had done my undergraduate in the early 1960s. His area of research, which included the application of the Taguchi Robust Design methodologies to optimize inkjet printing technologies, caught my attention as I have been active in that subject in the US automotive industry area at that time. I was profoundly impressed by his keen understanding of the Taguchi methods and his proficiency in leveraging these computational tools to analyze and optimize complex processes. On his more recent activities, I was further happy to see his continued interest in the area as he stayed engaged on the subject during his post-doctoral research here at Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Ball will make an attractive addition to a group involved in product and process design optimization using modern statistical techniques, and I will wholeheartedly recommend him to lead such projects. – RKR 240207
