Parameter design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic value in products and processes. Taguchi has used the signal-to-noise ratio to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. However, there are difficulties in practical application, such as complexity and nonlinear relationships among quality characteristics and control factors (design factors), and interactions occurred among control factors. Neural networks have a learning capability and model free characteristics. There characteristics support neural networks as a competitive tool in processing multivariable input-output implementation. In this paper we propose a substantially simpler optimization procedure for parameter design using neural network. An example is illustrated to compare the difference between the Taguchi method and neural network method.
