Publisher's Synopsis
The Taguchi Method (Quality Engineering) is a methodology for solving quality problems during product development. This text is designed specifically to help engineers working in the field of imaging and patterning science, and technology to get up to speed with the method. Using case studies, it outlines Taguchi's quality management steps: evaluation for functionality by means of only a dynamic SN ratio; inspection for reproducibility using the orthogonal array; and fine tuning for a functional target.
