It pertains to the evaluation and improvement of the robustness of products - or what may also be termed ""quality engineering"". The purpose of this book is to explain these terms and it is aimed at managers and technology developers.
Fifteen case studies from the U.S. and Japan show how industry giants used the MTS effectively in their organizations. This is the first book on this subject.
This book, written by one of the founding fathers of statistical quality control, covers the latest measurement technology for multi- variable processes.
Now, for the first time in one volume, Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook presents all the methods and beliefs that have made Taguchi one of the most respected authorities on quality engineering and management in the world.
Although U.S. and European engineers are leading the Japanese in basic research, they are not as successful at improving product reliability as their Japanese counterparts. This book was created to end this disadvantage.
Dr. Taguchi recognized this and developed methods that insured accurate measurements of any engineering experiment. In Volume 4 of the Taguchi Methods series these methods are explained. Examples are used throughout.
Taguchi Methods differ significantly from traditional Western design of experiments in objectives, philosophy, and methodology. This book helps readers make the transition to this new approach for building efficiency.
Improving this age-old method can be accomplished by using Taguchi Methods. In Volume 2 of the Taguchi Methods series, the ideas and concepts of Dr. Taguchi as applied to On Line Production are detailed.
This book illustrates various types of S/N ratios, using examples from mechanical, chemical, electrical, and measurement fields, and shows engineers how to use these ratios to evaluate quality and reliability of products and processes.
