Taguchi Loss Function Taguchi Loss Function CalculationsCalculations
Loss function: L(x) = k(x - T)2
Example: Specification = .500 .020. Failure outside of the tolerance range costs $50 to repair. Thus, 50 = k(.020)2. Solving for k yields k = 125,000. The loss function is:
L(x) = 125,000(x - .500)2
Expected loss = k(2 + D2)
where D is the deviation from the target.

Whenever variation is observed in measurements, some portion is due to measurement system error. Some errors are systematic (called bias); others are random. The size of the errors relative to the measurement value can significantly affect the quality of the data and resulting decisions.
