Taguchi has envisaged a new method of conducting the design of experiments which are based on well defined guidelines. This method uses a special set of arrays called orthogonal arrays. These standard arrays stipulates the way of conducting the minimal number of experiments which could give the full information of all the factors that affect the performance parameters. With the implementation of the quality principles discussed in this paper, companies will produce profits for themselves and also satisfy the needs of consumers.
