Whats Robustness?
Seek candidate design whose performance is
insensitive to variation
Focus on variation that affect performance
Manufacturing variation
Deterioration of parts/materials
Environmental variables
Illustrative Examples
Kos Rectangular Cookie
Force Sensor (Cantilever Beam Structure)
Profile Modified Helical Gears
CD Pickup Mechanism (Dynamic Performance)
Robust Dimensional Fit
EXAMPLE
Design a hood hinge with excellent alignment
Low manufacturing and assembly cost
SOURCES OF VARIANCE

Robust Design Approach
The Principles of Parameter Design
Use a limited set of experiments to determine the
design sensitivities
Design the product and process to minimize the
sensitivity of the quality measures to noise

Tolerance Design
Tightening tolerance induces higher control cost
Applied after parameter design
Tighten the tolerance of most sensitive variables

Noise and Loss
Control Factors:
Designers have control, e.g., parameter set points
Noise Factor:
Designers do not have control
Need to minimize effects on performance
Types of Noise Factors:
External (outer): environmental noise
Unit to Unit (product): mfg. variations
Deterioration (inner): changes in the product

Example: Noise Factors
Noise Factors for braking distance of a car
External

Unit-to-Unit Variation
friction characteristics of brake pads
Deterioration

Robust Design Basics
1. Establish the concept configuration
Dr. Russell Fords Lecture
2. Define performance goals
3. Identify factors which influence performance
Classify into categories
Draw Cause-and-effect diagram
Select factors that form the basis of experiments
Important to consider all possible factors
May need to identify significant factors and iterate
Utilize analytical / numerical models if available
