Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book shows engineers with little or no previous exposure to experimental design how to use statistically designed experiments to improve products and processes. A prerequisite is an appreciation for the concept of random variation, gained through a typical statistics course or by using statistical process control in a manufacturing environment. Dr Taguchi has added greatly to our understanding of the importance of properly designed experiments in quality improvement and has provided a structured approach to designing quality into products and processes.
Introduction -- The Taguchi approach to quality -- Two-level experiments: Full factorial designs -- Two-level experiments: Fractional factorial designs -- Evaluating variability -- Taguchi inner and outer arrays -- Experimental designs for factors at three and four levels -- Analysis of variance in engineering design -- Computer software for experimental design -- Using experiments to improve processes.
