Robust Design and Its Challenge for Manufacturing System

Abstract

Robust performance is one of the most important concerns in design of any system in manufacturing industry. This performance can be achieved by the robust design. The paper will provide a brief overview of the robust design. It includes discussions about how to account for design uncertainty, and how to measure and evaluate robustness for both static and dynamic systems. By reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of different design methods, the challenges in this area will be discussed.
