Providing a ready made, quick and easy-to-learn approach for applying design of experiments techniques to problems, this book examines the entire product lifecycle and the tools and techniques necessary to measure quality at each stage. The authors supply practical rules of thumb, step-wise procedures that allow readers to grasp concepts quickly and apply them appropriately, examples that demonstrate how to apply techniques, and include concepts from the field of Quality Engineering. Written with an emphasis on application and not theoretical underpinnings, the book enables readers to solve 80% of design problems without worrying about the derivation of mathematical formulas.
