Product Description

'Robust Engineering produces parts that avoid failure' - John F. Elter, Vice President and Chief Engineer, Office Products Division, Xerox Corporation. 'Toyota had incorporated Robust Engineering into its product development processes and it has become the daily norm for Toyota engineers' - Kenzo Euno, President, Ueno Design Institute, Japan. 'Through the use of Tagushi's Robust Engineering approach at ITT Industries, our products truly are 'Engineered for Life." - Richard s. Ullman, Vice President, ITT Defense and Electronics.Robust Engineering using Taguchi Methods is not some mysterious Eastern way. It's a clockwork-simple program for creating outstanding new products. Xerox used Robust Engineering to prestidigitate its high-end digital office imaging system three years faster than its less complicated predecessor. Xerox's new DC265 has already grabbed a 70 per cent market share. This amazing casebook is your chance to see other examples of Robust Engineering at work.Sit in at Ford and Nissan...easvesdrop at NASA, Xerox, 3M, Minolta...and answer your invitation from ITT, Goldstar, Sampo Kaguki, and Fumakilla. You'll see Robust Engineering used to: anticipate customer cravings; glide through design stages error-free; spot design flaws before prototype; eliminate manufacturing defects; prevent high prices - and other things customers don't want; and, bring out better products faster. Plus, here's your chance to learn what not to do by watching business giants stumble, as they complicate what should be a simple process.

A great advertisement, but short on implementation. 12 Dec 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

I am a little bemused by the previous reviews. Being a practicing engineer, I had hoped for an more rigorous introduction to applying robust engineering principles, coupled to real life engineering examples. What I got was essentially a book length advertisement aimed at people who don't need or want to know how to do it, merely order someone else to apply the techniques. If you are a manager considering implementing robust engineering practices and design of experiments, by all means, read the book and convince yourself and your boss it is the way to go. If you actually want to use the techniques, buy a different book.

shoud rename the title 13 Mar 2001

By Dr.Gee - Published on Amazon.com

I'm also surprised by 4 stars & other praises of this book (e.g., Fortune).

the book should be renamed "Case Studies of Taguchi Method" and the "authors" should be renamed as "editors"

it also does not telll you the method & its statistical basis, its strength & weakness compared with other methods, its assumptions and so forth. In addition, it lacks a biblography. Overall, we are just supposed to take a leap of faith. The book feels like "informercial"

Robust Engineering is the most powerful tool 3 May 2000

By jeff cooper - Published on Amazon.com

Robust Engineering book is the world wide collections of best case studies of Robust Engineering. In Chapter 1 and 2 authors gave a basic explanation of Robust Engineering and implementation strategy which is very easy to understand for any reader. This is book is the absolute necessary for any leaders, managers or engineers who want to re-shape their organization and by reading this book they will understand the powerfulness of Robust Engineering.
