Taguchi on Robust Technology Development: Bringing Quality Engineering Upstream

by Genichi Taguchi, Shih-Chung Tsai

Overview

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, Quality Management for Production Processes, and Parameter Design.

Editorial Reviews

Originally published in Japanese as Quality Engineering for Technology Development (1990, Central Japan Quality Control Association). Taguchi methods (or quality engineering--the term Taguchi prefers) pertain to evaluation and improvement of the robustness of products, tolerance specifications, design of engineering management processes, and evaluation of economic loss caused by functional variation of products. This practical guide presents proven quality engineering methods. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
