Taguchi Loss Function Simulator

Adjust the actual measured thickness of the bridge bearing. Notice how the loss increases quadratically as you deviate further from the ideal target value of 20 mm20\text{ mm}.

19.0 mmTarget: 20.0 mm21.0 mm

Calculation Parameters

  • Target Value (TT): 20.0 mm
  • Loss Coefficient (kk): $2000/mm²
  • Deviation (yT|y - T|): 0.20 mm

Mathematical Model

L(y)=2000(20.2020)2L(y) = 2000(20.20 - 20)^2

Calculated Hidden Loss

$80.00

Cost incurred due to variation from the ideal target.
