Statistical Experimentation History
Experimental design was developed in the 1920s by Sir Ronald A.Fisher of England. His techniques were first applied in agriculture.
Dr.Genichi Taguchi has been one of the primary contributors to upgrading these experimental design methods for use in industry and design applications. Dr.Taguchi, an engineer, has developed a very powerful way to help improve the quality of products while simultaneously lowering costs. Between 1950 and 1970 Dr. Taguchi’s methods of experimental design were developed at the Electrical Communication Laboratories (E.C.L.), the Japanese counterpart of Bell Laboratories. A notable application of these techniques was the development of a switch relay device. …
