QUALITYENGINEERINGIMPLEMENTATION INANORGANIZATION: ABRIEFFINDINGONQEMETHODOLOGY

Received: 29 October 2012 AbstractAccepted: 23 November 2012 As many research focused on robustness methodology, this paper discuss on how to im-plement these methodology concept from the management perspective. Guidelines and ap-propriate strategies are discussed on Quality Engineering (QE) implementation in an or-ganization and experimentation. Firstly, the experience of a company implementing QE ispresented. Secondly, the practical data of a laboratory experiment is discussed in order torelate between the experimental result and requirement in industry. The QE implementationis explained on the strategies used in tackling organization problems. Optimization of peeladhesion strength test is carried out to propose the feasibility of experimental design tools.QE methodology between the practical case and company’s case study is compared. Finally,through the QE implementation in organization and method applied in experimental de-sign, a framework is proposed for QE methodology. QE implementation is presented fromtwo sources, from a company and practical case study point of view. It helps a researcher orengineer applies the management strategy and engineering tool to ensure product robustness.KeywordsQuality Engineering, Taguchi method, Design of Experiments (DOE), T-peel test, productrobustness.
