Product Description

Review

"...One can find praise for Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook right at the beginning of the book, where several well-known authorities express their opinions—in fact, admiration. This reviewer totally concurs. It remains to praise and congratulate the authors and the publisher for their part in bringing out this great volume of more than 1,600 pages." (Choice, September 2006 )

Book Description

"This book is a great demonstration of this powerful approach and how it can make a meaningful difference in any type of business. It takes a dedicated engineering approach to implement, but the payback in customer satisfaction and growth is dramatic."
—Lou Giuliano, chairman, president, and CEO, ITT Industries

No other single volume presents the full breadth of founding beliefs behind the successful engineering practices used by today's leading companies. Helpful to companies in both manufacturing and service industries, Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook provides accessible material on such topics as:

Quality loss function
On-line quality engineering
Signal-to-noise ratio
Robust engineering
Design of experiments (known as the "Taguchi method")

5.0 out of 5 stars The Qiuality Engineering Manual, Jan 23 2005

By William E. Sutherland - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook (Hardcover)

The handbook gives the true foundation for the supply of quality products or services. It focuses on the design of the product and it's need to perform correctly in the customer's use environment.

The thing I really like is the inclusion of case studies. The addition of actual applications enhances the understanding of the theory presented in the first part of the book. The case studies are also good thought starters for your applications.

By Marco Sisfontes "Shifo Sisfontes" - Published on Amazon.com

well, if you are like me, always busy, and trying to find new answers to unknown problems using taguchi or other quality engineering problems, THIS IS YOUR BOOK!! this book has great cases, applicable to MANY INDUSTRIES!! it is like my Bible, i tried to sell it once, and simply BROKE MY HEART and I COULD NOT!!

This book, is an excellent job, I WISHED ONLY I WISHED!!! that my tractor or my previous car (CHEVY) was designed using REAL ROBUST DESIGN METHODS BY TAGUCHI, in that way, I would not need to go to the repair shop every now and then... :=), enjoy guys, it is simply a MASTER PIECE! considering that I worked for a japanese company as well, this book is great!!! BUY IT you won't regret it... if you love this stuff as much as I DO!! Regards Marco Sisfontes, Phd, NYC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook, July 28 2008

By Huei-huang Lee - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook (Hardcover)

I'm a university professor in Taiwan teaching Taguchi's methods for more than 10 years. Taguchi's methods are useful, pratical, and benefical to product and process development. This book systematically introduces the methods. The book is unique because few English books, if exists any, cover the Taguchi Methods so thoroughly and up-to-date. The 94 cases studied are extraordinary precious. For those could not read Japanese literature, this book is the best and the most comprehensive one regarding the Taguchi Methods. To my personal opnion, the shortcoming of the book, as most of the books discussing Taguchi's methods by Dr. Taguchi, is that the math (analysis of variance, calculations of SN ratios, etc.) seems unnecessarily complicated.
