Dr.Taguchi's comprehensive system of quality engineering is one of the great engineering achievements of the twentieth century. In this pioneering work, Dr. Taguchi uses easy to understand examples to show engineers and managers how to bring the immense power of his quality engineering methods upstream to develop the robust technologies that are essential for rapidly creating new product, refining existing ones, and manufacturing higher quality products at significantly lower cost. Contents include: Quality and Productivity, Methods for Evaluating Quality, Methods for Specifying Tolerances,...
