In the completely revised 2nd edition, additional chapters and more case studies add to the clear, simple, and essentially non-mathematical presentation of the basic concepts, techniques, and applications of the renowned Taguchi approach. This practical guide introduces the fundamentals of Taguchi experimental design and shows engineers how to design, analyze, and interpret experiments for a wide range of common products and processes.
