Publisher's Synopsis
"Engineering Quality and Experimental Design" presents the engineer with a coherent strategy for using statistical experiments to support product and process engineering. This volume has been inspired by the work of the Japanese engineer Genichi Taguchi. The authors show how many of Taguchi's objectives can be accomplished using simpler methods and techniques.;Practical emphasis is given to experiments that are aimed at reducing variations, using worked examples taken from current engineering practice, mostly within the Ford Motor Company.;The text aims to present statistical techniques in an easily accessible way, placing less emphasis on mathematics and more on graphical interpretation.;There are highlighted boxes throughout the text to provide the busy engineer with useful hints and tips on using spread-sheets.;It is aimed at professional engineers concerned with design, productivity and quality control, quality assurance engineers and inspectors in the manufacturing industries.
