Product Description
Product Description
"Taguchi Techniques" is 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.
From the Back Cover
This edition of this best-selling book revised, updated, and reorganized with important new material offers you an easy-to-follow approach to using the often difficult Taguchi methodology for engineering quality control. Keeping statistics to a minimum, this step-by-step approach shows you how to design effective experiments to reduce variation and improve the quality of products and processes. You'll find the expanded discussions of: the loss function concept for quantifying the cost of product and processes. You'll find expanded discussions of: the loss function concept for quantifying the cost of product and process variations; orthogonal experiment design to pinpoint areas where variation may be successfully reduced; parameter and tolerance design to reduce variations in products and processes at little or not cost. The Second Edition is now organized in the chronological order of the DOE process. Included are new reference tables to make it easier to understand how to design experiments as well as flowcharts of the experimental design process and confirmation experiments to aid you in decision making. This essential reference provides a wealth of proven Taguchi strategies for creating the highest quality products on time and within budget.

An introduction to the Taguchi methodology as a systematic strategy for designing product and process tests that will reduce product or process variation. This text aims to make this method understandable to all professionals in quality control and non-statisticians and it does this very well.
Having been educated from an engineering perspective I found these ideas were in common usage, however the techniques were not applied to organisations, especially services until the mid 90s through the influence of Lean Manufacturing and a mature quality movement.

Great book for anyone with no practical experience in DOE
15 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Seems to be written for people with no background in designing experiments. Gives you a good start and gives you the basic information on Taguchi methods. A favorite of Engineering students since it is extremely easy to follow. Great first book for someone starting out with Design of Experiments. Covers the full problem solving process with DOE being a part of the process.
Minimal information is given regarding Classical DOE. If you have an academic or Engineering background and are interested in learning experimental designs other than Taguchi methods, then buy the "Statistics for Experimenters: An Introduction to Design, Data Analysis, and Model Building" By: George E. P. Box, et al. -- the Classical DOE reference handbook for Engineers.

A complete course for Taguchi Engineering Techniques
3 April 2002
Format:Hardcover
Maybe the most known and recurrently used Taguchi techniques are the Orthogonal Arrays for DOE; but they're not the only ones that Taguchi developed in order to achieve a quality product design. The Loss Function, the S/N ratio and the Tolerance Design are part of the "Robust Engineering" that consolidated Taguchi as the quality guru he is.
Many general DOE concepts are so well explained in this book that it represents a great introductory text to this subject. Nevertheless this is a Taguchi techniques book, not a complete DOE text, so it's possible that you'd like to look for "Design and Analysis of Experiments" by Douglas C. Montgomery.
This book is highly valuable if you want to understand the Taguchi philosophy for developing quality products and a must have for DOE beginners.
