Insightful and Easy to read

Dr. Phadke has written the most clear book on the Robust Design method. I was able to follow the book with medium statistical and engineering knowledge and gained valueable knowledge. This is a must read for all engineering managers!

How to do Robust Design

Phadke gives a versatily, easy to read introduction into the on-target philosophy and the Quality Loss Function.Many examples are taken from real case studies (e.g. from Xerox and ITT), covering mechanics, electronics and computer systems. These are good to inspire your own improvement projects.Unfortunately, the most verstile characteristic is not treated (dynamic characteristic).
