DFSS within the product development cycle

This is really two books in one, and requires a close read to keep the two separate. One book is a description of the product development process / technology pipeline. The second book is a very good description of the DFSS process and the use of the specific tools within each step of the process and their interrelationships. The author does a good job describing the process of developing transfer functions. This is not a casual read. However, it goes well beyond some of the other DFSS books I have read which are merely a data dump on a collection of tools. I would definitely place this at the top of my DFSS read list.

Challenging but worthwhile

I don't disagree that Creveling's book is a challenging read, but I do think it's a worthwhile and reasonably comprehensive text on the topics. Many of the methods presented require a certain level of sophistication to execute correctly. If you don't understand the material, maybe you shouldn't be trying to use some of the tools.
