Abstract

Taguchi's T-Method is a technique developed explicitly for multivariate data predictions under Mahalanobis-Taguchi System. This prediction tool implements an excellent and efficient yield of data that will produce a good forecasting result. However, its limitation in this new era of technology incorporates different computational methods. The analysis result in Excel was limited depending upon the purchased time of the current product specifications and could not be used widely. The development of Graphical User Interphase (GUI) as a medium of the Taguchi's T-Method data analysis using MATLAB interphase can help users forecast data with visualization and user-friendly apps. From the result, an application by MATLAB was designed to forecast the estimation output value, and error estimation was calculated in the GUI. The system requires users to insert an Excel file into the MATLAB GUI, and all calculations can be done by just a few simple clicks on the GUI programmed.
