A clear, simple and essentially non-mathematical presentation, this practical guide introduces you to the basic concepts, techniques and applications of the renowned Taguchi approach. Numerous real-world examples will help you see how the Taguchi Method works in a variety of manufacturing applications. For those who need a more rigorous statistical treatment, the book s working appendices provide full mathematical details on orthogonal arrays, triangular tables and linear graphs, plus fully worked solutions to problems presented in the example case studies.
