Abstract

In the manufacturing and management sectors, the optimization
of process parameters—such as rotational speed and axial force
in friction surfacing—is essential for ensuring superior quality and
cost-effective production. Employing techniques like Taguchi’s
orthogonal array allows manufacturers to pinpoint the critical
factors affecting coating performance, leading to more efficient
material utilization and consistent product quality. The method
not only enhances manufacturing precision but also strengthens
management practices by minimizing waste, reducing costs, and
boosting overall operational efficiency. The future of this approach
is highly promising, as it facilitates more efficient and adaptable
manufacturing processes that can be finely tuned to meet specific
production requirements. By continuously refining these parameters,
manufacturers can maintain a competitive edge, fostering long
term success and driving innovation within the industry.
