The loss caused by deviation from the target standard is $47.70 per unit and the mean squared deviation (V)from the target value is (0.50)2. What is the Taguchi constant?
A)249
B)191
C)642
D)318
E)452

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Taguchi constant C can be calculated using the formula: 
C = (L/6σ2) where L is the loss caused by deviation from the target and σ is the standard deviation.

In this case, L = $47.70 and σ2 = V = (0.50)2 = 0.25.

Substituting these values in the formula, we get: 
C = (47.70/6 x 0.25) = 191

Therefore, the Taguchi constant is 191. Option B is the correct answer.

The Loss Caused by Deviation from the Target Standard Is
