Abstract
Mahalanobis Taguchi-System (MTS) is a pattern information technology, which has been used in different diagnostic ap plications to make quantitative decisions by constructing a multivariate system using data analytic methods without any as sumption regarding statistical distribution. MTS performs Taguchi's fractional factorial design based on the Mahalanobis distance as a performance metric In this work, MTS used for analyzing automotive brake feeling system, which measured as a brake feel index (BFI) from 9 attributes. The automobile which has a good BFI score treated as a normal group for constructing Mahalanobis space. The results of this research show that two attributes (Pre load & Max deceleration) have a minus gain value and can be removed from further analysis. The difference of MD value between using all 9 attributes and just using significant attribute compared.
