Description
The main purpose of this book is to encourage the proper implementation of the techniques which have contributed to Japan's industrial success. Designing for quality is the next evolutionary stage in quality systems, a stage that industries need to embrace. This work provides a clear exposition of the main methods recommended by Taguchi: these are combined with appropriate statistical techniques for experimental design and analysis. Newer developments in areas such as variance estimation, tolerance design, data transformation and response surface experimentation are also dealt with. The book brings together Japanese quality philosophy and standard principles of Western-type statistical theory.
