Process Optimization for the Improvement of Brake Noise: A Case Study

&
Pages 131-143 | Published online: 15 Feb 2007
 

This study improves brake noise by optimizing the manufacturing processes of brake discs and pads. Taguchi techniques and designed experiments were used for the optimization. The signal-to-noise ratios of the key output responses, such as runouts of brake discs and compressibility of brake pads, were maximized to optimize the mean and variation. Analysis of the variance was performed to obtain the influence percentage. Fine adjustment of the mean was performed using designed experiments and regression analysis. The improvement was verified by process capability analysis, control charts, and confidence intervals.
