Question: Problem 1 . A part is manufactured using a 'non - stick' mold, but yield is unacceptably low due to part adhesion to the mold

Problem 1. A part is manufactured using a 'non-stick' mold, but yield is unacceptably low due to part adhesion to the mold after cooling and upon release. In order to measure the amount of material adhering, the mold was weighed before and after the process. An L9 orthogonal array material processing experiment was designed to address the issue:
A: Pre treatment
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
B: Treating Temp.
A1=HCL
A2=H2SO4
C: Treating Method
B1=200C
B2=190C
B3=220C
D: Additive
C1= Dip
C2= Spray
C3= Soak
D1= Acetone
D2= Ethanol
D3=H2O
The results, in terms of amount of product material adhering to the mold after release were:
\table[[INITIAL DATA],[EXP #,A,B,C,D,RESULTS,],[,,,,REP. 1,REP. 2,],[1,1,1,1,1,11.2,11.5,],[2,1,2,2,2,9.5,9.2,],[3,1,3,3,3,6.3,6,],[4,2,1,2,3,6,4.9,],[5,2,2,3,1,10,8.9,],[6,2,3,1,2,5.8,6.2,],[7,3,1,3,2,9.5,10.5,],[8,3,2,1,3,4.5,5.8,],[9,3,3,2,1,10,9,]]
Assume Smaller is better. That is, yield is highest with less product material adhering to the mold.
Perform Graphical Analysis of both Average and Variance (using S/N Variability transform).
Perform ANOVA for Average and SN, and determine the best factor settings for Average and SN based on significance analysis by the >5% contribution Taguchi Rule,
Determine the Expected Value (EV) and Confidence Interval (CI) for the Average, ONLY, for significant factors based on Average and Variance ANOVA conducted in #2, above.
Perform ANOVA for the Average, (
