Statistical Quality Control Procedures

Taguchi's emphasis on instilling quality at the design stage has been important in a number of situations and deserves careful attention. His specific robust design approach has yielded good results in many instances, but recent studies indicate that more classical designs can serve the same purposes-sometimes, at least, doing so more efficiently, albeit less understandably for the technically ...
