Quality Engineering Using Robust Design

TLDR

Robust design techniques pioneered by Genichi Taguchi, a key figure in Japanese quality manufacturing, are being considered for adoption in U.S. student protocols, with Phadke trained in these methods and Taguchi authoring the foreword. The book provides a blueprint for structuring R&D projects to achieve rapid completion, high engineering productivity, and low-cost, high-quality product development.

Abstract

From the Publisher: Phadke was trained in robust design techniques by Genichi Taguchi, the mastermind behind Japanese quality manufacturing technologies and the father of Japanese quality control. Taguchi's approach is currently under consideration to be adopted as a student protocol with the US govrnment. The foreword is written by Taguchi. This book offers a complete blueprint for structuring projects to achieve rapid completion with high engineering productivity during the research and development phase to ensure that high quality products can be made quickly and at the lowest possible cost. Some topics covered are: orthogonol arrays, how to construct orthogonal arrays, computer-aided robutst design techniques, dynamic systems design methods, and more.
