2.0 out of 5 stars some interesting cases but hardly a scientific method, March 12, 2001
By Dr.Gee (earth) - See all my reviews
this is not a pretty book, either visually (ugly typesetting) or content. The biggest merit is it's printed on recycled paper. otherwise, it would be a bigger waste of trees. Mc-Graw's standard seems to have gone downhill.

Some examples are quite intesreting. however, this book should really be called "Case Studies by Mahalanobis-Taguchi System" cause it really does not tell you much about the methodogy, its limitations, and its statistical basis. also it's assumptions has never been clearly stated. that is not a scientic method. my guess is linearity & continuity of the system. (i.e., no singularity of the configuration space of all variables) so the quality control studty can be reduced significantly.

Furthermore, there's no bibliography of good references about the method, except the incestuous self-referencing.

I also do not recommend the other book on Taguchi method by Dr. Taguchi et. al.
