Advanced Air Fan

Challenge:

Development of a new advanced air fan system used for cooling was stalling. After 18 months of development work, the team had not determined how to design the fan to meet the new, higher requirements for performance. With six (6) months left before production, the team leader suggested using Robust Engineering.

ASI Solution:

After our fast analysis of the advanced air fan development plan, ASI Consulting Group recommended that the client implement Robust Engineering methodology developed by ASI’s founder, Dr. Genichi Taguchi.

Achieved Benefit:

The Final design was completed on time for pre-production testing and surpassed the new requirements for performance. Warranty data was 68% less than the earlier design. Knowledge gained from the engagement has been applied to four (4) other vehicle lines and is being applied to the next generation product.
