Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook
by Genichi Taguchi

Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook presents all the methods and beliefs that have made Taguchi one of the most respected authorities on quality engineering and management in the world.

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, this reference 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")
• Mahalanobis–Taguchi Systems (MTS)

Taguchi's Quality Engineering Handbook is a landmark resource for everyone interested in quality and engineering, from engineers and managers to upper-level VPs and educators.
