M.Tech (ME) (2017 Batch) (Sem.?2)
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Subject Code : MTME-201
M.Code : 74977
Time : 3 Hrs. Max. Marks : 100
INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES :
1. Attempt any FIVE questions out of EIGHT questions.
2. Each question carries TWENTY marks.
1. a. Describe the different types of research, clearly pointing out the difference between
an experiment and a survey.
b. ?Research is much concerned with proper fact finding, analysis and evaluation.? Do
you agree with this statement? Give reasons in support of your answer.
2. ?The task of defining the research problem often follows a sequential pattern?. Explain.
3. a. What are the three main disadvantages of the conventional design of experiments
approach as compared with Taguchi's method?
b. Explain the three stages in the process of achieving desirable quality in design.
4. a. What are orthogonal array?
b. The Taguchi method is considered a technique that helps build quality into a product
or process Explain what aspect of quality it influences and how.
5. The quality control department of fabric finishing plant is studying the effect of several
factors on the dyeing of cotton - synthetic cloth used to manufacture men shirts. Three
cycle times (A): 40 min, 45 min and 50 min, two temperature (B) 250? and 300?, two
operators (C), two shifts (D) and two vendors (E) were selected for the experimentation.
Factor A is a three -level factor and the remaining four factors are two level factors. The
investigator has decided to use L
8
orthogonal array with three replications for each trail.
The assignment of factors and data are shown in table below. Analyze the data and draw
conclusions at a significance level of .05 using ANOVA for un-pooled as well as pooled
variance.
