Quality is an essential determinant for achieving overall business success. Quality Engineering: Off-Line Methods and Applications discusses the use of quality engineering methods and other modern techniques to ensure design optimization in the product and process design stages for a company. Starting with the basics, this book presents an overall picture of quality engineering. It helps readers understand quality engineering methods such as DOE, Taguchi, RSM, and computational intelligence approaches. It also provides extensive examples and case studies, without extensive mathematical treatments, making it accessible to a broad audience.
