内容简介：
In this ground-breaking volume from Japan, you examine how the restructuring of technology bases improves quality, cuts costs, and enhances your company's manufacturing competitiveness. You explore methods to ensure your product's robustness and basic functionality at all development stages, including material selection, product design, component manufacturing, and final assembly.Through in-depth discussion and case studies, this book shows you how to shift from traditional downstream "crisis" management to upstream robust engineering -- and how to develop high-quality products at low cost.
