Taguchi Methods: Research and Development

by Genichi Taguchi, Seiso Konishi, Yuin Wu

U.S. and European engineers are doing better work than Japanese engineers in the area of basic research. They have created various types of new systems and new products for a better life. They are not as effective in improving the robustness of product function. Quite often, dealing with the robust function of a product is not considered the role of design engineers. Quality must be built in to product design rather than relying on quality engineers, who cannot improve product robustness. This book is written for product tools, proven to be effective, for maximizing the robustness of product function during Research and Development and product design stages.
