MOORA-based Taguchi optimisation for improving product or process quality

In this study a multi-objective optimisation on the basis of ratio analysis (MOORA)-based Taguchi application is used to solve multi-response optimisation problems. In this application, the MOORA method is integrated with the Taguchi method to convert the multi-response problem into a single-response problem. Four examples are considered in this paper for illustrative purposes. The MOORA-based Taguchi method is simple and robust compared to the other MADM methods, such as TOPSIS, VIKOR and GRA. The proposed model reduces the time associated with the amount of calculation steps significantly. We found that solution results of the MOORA-based Taguchi application and other hybrid models in the literature were not significantly different. The MOORA-based Taguchi application offers also a new tool in the optimisation of Taguchi’s multi response problem.
