In this paper, Six Sigma approach is used for improving the quality process outputs in turning of Galvanized Iron. The objective is to optimize the turning parameters and maximize the MRR (Material Removal Rate). A L16 orthogonal array based on Taguchi experiments consisting of three controlling factors viz. spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, each with four levels as required in traditional DOE setting is used here. Taguchi’s parameter design offers an approach in Design of Experiments (DOE) with control parameters optimization to attain best outcome. An orthogonal array offers a set of balanced least experiments which help in data analysis and prediction of optimum results. For each experiment, the Material Removal Rate (MRR) is calculated. The Taguchi method results in reducing the quality characteristic variation due to uncontrollable parameter through the study of response variation using the Signal to Noise (S/N) ratio by the use of Minitab 16 software. Moreover, statistical investigation shows that standard deviation and mean value of confirmation run data are reduced when compare with before Taguchi design run data was performed.
