This study focuses on the bending strength of the Oriented Strand Board (OSB) manufactured from palm leaves and fronds where the Taguchi orthogonal array method is used for optimal parameter determination. The three key factors such as temperature, pressure, and moisture are changed systematically to measure their effect on the final quality of OSB. Our findings point to moisture content as a key factor in the bending strength with its ability to correlate positively with better performance. In contrast to the previous point, temperature and pressure have relatively little impact on the OSB quality. Exploitation of Taguchi methodologies can assist in understanding the process parameters that will be followed by making the product better and more efficient based on the field of sustainable construction materials. One of the future research directions is to improve the model about other factors involved, more complex material characterizations, and environmental impact assessment. This research is adding to the expanding mass knowledge of sustainable materials and process optimization; thus, the findings are beneficial for industrial practitioners and researchers who are at the forefront of eco-friendly construction methods and materials.
