Continuing a best-selling tradition, the third edition of Quality by Experimental Design uses the same easy-to-read and understand style that made the previous two editions so successful with both newcomers and experienced readers. With emphasis on the philosophy and technique for setting up experiments, the book allows increased efficiency, timely accomplishment of goals, visualization through graphical and numerical representation, and control of the experiment through careful planning. This updated and expanded edition includes new topics on inference, more realistic practice problems, examples using Minitab® and a large dose of robust design philosophy and methods (the Taguchi Approach).
