Foreword by Dr. Genichi Taguchi

Newly translated from the Japanese edition, this uniqueand practical book is unlike others in the area of robust design.The expert author describes how to conduct robust technologydevelopment in a time- and cost-efficient manner, as originated byDr. Taguchi in the early 1990s, and includes all aspects for thedevelopment of robust technology and robust products: qualityphilosophy, quality strategies/planning, management andorganization, robust design methods/tools, and real-life casestudies from industry.

As a result, this book is written to teach engineers from variousbackgrounds the fundamentals of quality engineering such as: 2-steprobust design, parameter design, tolerance design, quality lossfunction, S/N (signal-to-noise) ratios, orthogonal arrays, additiveconfirmation, and more. This book also provides engineeringmanagers and executives with a practical blueprint for company-wideimplementation of quality engineering. Numerous award-winning casestudies are discussed to illustrate the uses and benefits ofpractical statistical analyses such as main-effect plots, andanalysis of variance.
