Overview
Nowadays, it is uncommon to do any engineering activity without the use of computers and information technology. The engineering activity includes design, development and testing of a product, process, technology, software or information system. Use of robust engineering methods in these applications can be extremely useful in enhancing overall performance and cost effectiveness. Thus, robust engineering methods will also play a crucial role in Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) activities in all areas including software and information technology.Until now, there was no book that fully described the use of robust engineering methods in computer applications. This book will be useful not only to DFSS green belts and black belts, but also: engineers, robust engineering practitioners and researchers, R & D personnel, simulation specialists, software testing personnel, computer programmers, information technology and artificial engineering specialists, statisticians, and academicians in quality engineering.
Synopsis
Taguchi, a consultant in robust engineering, describes the use of robust engineering methods in computer applications, and presents a case for the use of robust engineering methods in Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) activities in all areas that include software and information technology. Coverage encompasses simulation-based robust engineering, software testing and software algorithm optimization, and design of information systems using a data analytic method developed by the authors. The book will be useful to engineers, information technology specialists, and managers. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
