O`Connor in the JOURNAL OF QUALITY AND RELIABILITY ENGINEERING: "The authors clearly state their objectives, to explain the Taguchi methods, describing their advantages and disadvantages, and to describe extensions to the ideas, such as the use of simulations driven by computer aided design, and response surface and other optimization methods. They seek to make friends among engineers whilst pleading for mercy from statisticians. In fact they do rather more, since the book covers the general principles of experimental design in some detail, thereby setting Taguchi's contribution in context. The result is a very good book, the best so far on the Taguchi phenomenon.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good+ EX-LIBRARY./No jacket. 8vo. xi, 464pp.…
