Published by ASI Press, 15041 Commons Drive South, Dearborn, MI 48120, in cooperation with the Japanese Standards Association (and published in Japanese and English editions simultaneously). The signal-to-noise ratio has been used to evaluate the quality of communication systems since the turn of this century. Taguchi has broadened the concept; and this book illustrates S/N ratios being applied in mechanical, electrical, and chemical industries for product design, process adjustment, and measurement.
