Recently, Taguchi methods have become very popular among industries worldwide. Begins by reviewing the past discussion on quality engineering from viewpoints of Taguchi himself, practitioners and academic scholars. The weakness of Taguchi's approach in quality engineering is not in the statistical analysis aspect. Posits that, on the contrary, it provides a way of thinking that emphasizes a philosophy of freely using the methods of design of experiments to solve engineering problems. States that, in this regard, quality engineering will be further empowered via the aid of various engineering techniques. Proposes, based on these kind of thoughts, two directions for evolution of quality engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
