Publisher's Note Taguchi Techniques Made Easier Than Ever! Regardless of your experience with statistics, the Second Edition of Taguchi Techniques for Quality Engineering, by Saturn quality engineer Phillip J. Ross, shows you step-by-step how to design effective experiments to reduce variation, improve the quality of products and processes, and slash development time and costs. Now organized in the chronological order of the DOE process, this revised and updated edition give you the tools to exploit: the loss function concept--to quantify the cost of product and process variations; orthogonal experiment design--to pinpoint areas where variation may be reduced; parameter and tolerance design--to reduce variations in products and processes at little or no cost.
Industry Reviews Describes Genichi Taguchi's techniques for setting up tests to model actual field conditions and the cause-effect relationship between the design and performance of products, which make such experimentation efficient enough that managers, engineers, and scientists will consider them worth the cost. The approach is based on the tenets that a reduction in variation of a product benefits society and that a proper management strategy can reduce variation. Assumes only standard algebra and a limited background in statistics. The second edition is rearranged to follow the chronological order of the design of experiments and includes new tables and charts; the date of the first edition is not noted. No bibliography.
