Engineering Methods for Robust Product Design: Using Taguchi Methods in Technology and Product Development (Engineering Process Improv)

Engineering Methods for Robust Product Design: Using Taguchi Methods in Technology and Product Development (Engineering Process Improv) by Creveling, Clyde M.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 0076092033547.

The book contains complete information on the process of engineering robust products that are insensitive to sources of variability in manufacturing and customer use. You will find detailed instructions for planning, designing, conducting, and analyzing the experiments that are used to optimize a products performance under a variety of "stressed" conditions. An entire section focuses on designing products that achieve additivity, the property that reduces negative interactions. In addition, the book offers a systematic method for optimizing cost, quality, and cycle time. It even discusses the relationship of robust design to such other quality processes as Quality Function Deployment and Six Sigma.
