Summary: Brief Review of the Book by R. Roy
Review: "An excellent book for any practicing engineers who are interested in using Taguchi's approach in optimizing and characterizing a process. Dr Roy's step-by-step method outlined in the book does not require the readers to have any prior statistical knowledge to understand Taguchi's approach to Design of Experiments. The book also walks you through the computer program on the CD-ROM that comes with it."

Summary: Brief review of DOE using Taguchi approach by R. Roy
Review: Dr. Roy has been able to translate into everyday language some of the most difficult concepts of the Taguchi methodology. Whereas the book does not provide the reader with much theoretical background, it doeas provide ample examples and practical approaches to the methodology. Excellent sections are the discussions about the OAs and the modified arrays as well as the ANOVA. The references to the CD ROM are well placed. The shortcomings of the book are the very poor screens from the software package. In fact, in some cases they are unreadable. Another shortcoming is the absence of any discussion of tolerance design using the Taguchi methodology. Overall: a good book for reference.

Summary: DOE/Taguchi Book for Product and Process Improvement
Review: Dr. Roy's book provides a different approach than most experimental design books. The emphasis is on results rather than on mathematical mechanics. Practitioners will find the book very useful. Dr. Brian Dodson, Dodson, Bryan (B.L.)Manager, Visteon, Inc.

Summary: Must have for Quality Control Professionals and Educators
Review: Dr.Roy's book is amazing. He has covered almost everything you need to know about the Taguchi method - even meticulous things. This book will suite both for beginners as well as for experts. The CD which comes along with this book is very helpful in understanding the concept behind the analysis with more than 50 examples. If at all you are looking for a book about Taguchi design of Experiments - I highly recommend one and all to buy Dr.Roy's book and benefit through his work.
I started as a beginner and now Iam an expert in Taguchi analysis - and the credit goes to Dr.Roy - he also helps personally in answering your questions.
Thank you very much Dr.Roy.
Three CHEERS to Dr.Roy!

Review: First, I completely agree with all the good things mentioned in the other reviews, but wish to add the following comments: 1. The discussion group (usenet) hosted by Dr Roy is fantastic. If by chance you don't "get it" from reading the book, a simple question posted to the usenet frequently gets you an answer, often within a few hours (its a vocal crowd!!). Many times, the author himself responds to usenet questions. And, on at least one instance, after I repeatdly asked my question, he began exchanging emails with me, which then led to some pleasant phone disscussions. 2. User friendly software and support. See above. 3. Taguichi is frequently attacked by full blown Design of Experiments statistical types who miss the whole point. I strongly encourage all professionals interested in gauging quality control to try out his books and the free software downloads.... An excellent book with powerful software and support...... Reads like a winner, looks like a winner, performs likes a winner....... need I say more... Auburn Alabama

Summary: Great book for practical applications
Review: I bought this book hoping to learn DOE using Taguchi Methods and apply what I learned to real life problems in my work. It was very helpful. Not only did it help me learn the methods I needed to perform my testing at work but I did it in only 8 days of reading. The book was very easy to read and the examples helped me understand everything I needed to know to apply this method to real situations. A great buy for anyone looking to learn Taguchi Methods.

Summary: This book is a self-study guide for DOE/Taguchi technique.
Review: I wrote this book for those of you who feel comfortable learning while doing it, hands-on. After over fifteen years of training and software development experience, I thought it would be a good idea to combine computer in the learning process. I have attempted to take you through the application steps one at a time with several examples in each. All examples and exercises are worked out using Qualitek-4 software provided with the book. As you read the book, you will be able to see all example solutions displayed on your computer screen The book contains over 150 examples and exercises. The software contains solution to all the problems cited. In addition you will be able to use the software to design your own experiments using the L-8 array. Hope you like the book. Should you buy the book and read it, please feel free to let me know how you like it (rkroy@wwnet.net ).
