Abstract

The use of a designed quality plan for application in the electrical power industry is presented. Some contributions of Taguchi’s technique in power process parameter design are reviewed. Recommendations are made for developing a quality‐training plan that will incorporate the design of experiments and description of training sources. A case study of the experiment design in the Hellenic power production process is discussed. Difficulties with design of experiments applications to the power process are outlined and suggestions are offered for resolving these difficulties.
