“…This method has evolved into an established approach for analyzing interaction effects when ranking and screening various controllable factors. Moreover, Taguchi method is applicable to solving a variety of problems involving continuous, discrete and qualitative design variables (Tan and Tang 2001;Khoei et al 2002).…”

There is a growing demand for developing suitable and more efficient extraction of active compounds from the plants and ultrasound is one of these novel methodologies. Moreover, the experimental set up to reach an appropriate condition for an optimum yield is demanding and time consuming. In the present study, Taguchi L 9 orthogonal design was applied to optimize the process parameters (output power, time, temperature and pulse mode) for ultrasound assisted extraction of anthocyanins from red cabbage and the concluding yield of anthocyanin was measured by pH differential method. The statistical analysis revealed that the most important factors contributing to the extraction efficiency were time, temperature and power, respectively and the optimum condition was at 30 min, 15°C and 100 W which could result the maximum anthocyanin yield of about 20.9 mg/L. The theoretical result was confirmed experimentally by carrying out the trials at the optimum condition and evaluating the actual yield.

“…Dr. G. Taguchi devised the Taguchi method in the 1960s to reduce costs, improve quality, and achieve robustness [30,31]. The Taguchi method is a well-known technique that can substantially reduce the number of experimental runs; it can also be used to analyze the significance of each control factor.…”

The aim of this paper is to propose an integrated modeling framework that would help manufacturing managers for assessment, ranking, and analysis of the manufacturing systems. The proposed framework is based on Taguchi method that ranks and analyzes the manufacturing sectors by consolidating a set of management and organization productivity indicators. Sixty-one indicators were identified and classified in five categories, namely (1) financial, (2) customer satisfaction, (3) process innovation, (4) production process, and (5) organizational learning and growth. The mentioned indicators are related to organizational and managerial productivity and efficiency. Next, a test problem and a random sample of 12 indicators have been carried out for the two-digit International Standard Industrial Classification sectors of manufacturing systems. Principal component analysis (PCA), numerical taxonomy, and clustering analysis approach have been used to demonstrate and validate the results of the integrated Taguchi method. Also, Spearman and Kendall tau correlation experiments should show high level of correlation between the findings of Taguchi, PCA, and taxonomy. In addition, normality test has been applied to show the superiority of integrated method over previous approaches. The proposed method has been provided with respect to management and organizational performance indicators to decide the best actions for continuous improvement. The results indicated that the structure and modeling approach of this paper could be easily utilized for managerial and organizational ranking and analysis of other sectors.

“…Their algorithm performs quite well compared with simpler dispatching rules. Similar approaches have been proposed for scheduling AGVs in FMS by Yim and Linn (1993), Taghaboni (1997) and Tan and Tang (2001). Kim et al (1999) introduce a hierarchical rule based on workload balancing.…”

This paper presents a review on design and control of automated guided vehicle systems. We address most key related issues including guide-path design, estimating the number of vehicles, vehicle scheduling, idle-vehicle positioning, battery management, vehicle routing, and conflict resolution. We discuss and classify important models and results from key publications in literature on automated guided vehicle systems, including often-neglected areas, such as idlevehicle positioning and battery management. In addition, we propose a decision framework for design and implementation of automated guided vehicle systems, and suggest some fruitful research directions. 5001-6182 Business AbstractThis paper presents a review on design and control of automated guided vehicle systems.
