job is CAD. They use 2D or 3D CAD to help them with their design. This software helps engineers to saves lots of time and offer good accuracy. The main benefits of 2D and 3D design for engineers are the errors are reduced drastically in the designed product leading to better design. The designers also communicate with the marketing team about the Idea the market needed or communicate with the clients about the main needs of their product. The main system to make sure that the company’s relationship

contributions to statistics are: 1. Taguchi loss-function; 2. The philosophy of off-line quality control; and 3. Innovations in the design of experiments. [pic]Loss functions Taguchi's reaction to the classical design of experiments methodology of R. A. Fisher was that it was perfectly adapted in seeking to improve the mean outcome of a process. As Fisher's work had been largely motivated by programmes to increase agricultural production, this was hardly surprising. However, Taguchi
