Outline (in English)

The goal of science is to interpret natural phenomena, representing physical principles via formulae. On the other hand, the goal of technology is to design things which don't exist in the natural world that are desirable to humans and produce them. While technology uses the results of science, in the real world it is not always possible to succeed in creating ideal applications for them. Quality is an expression of how close technology comes to the ideal, and representing its scale of completion. In this course we will learn common methods for determining how technologies can be produced at close to ideal levels through the use of quality indicators as a base. These methods are known throughout the world as the Taguchi Methods, and in Japan as "quality engineering".
In general, quality can be divided into technological quality and product quality. Product quality includes function, color, shape, design etc. On the other hand, technological quality is a representation of the negative effects of undesirable technological flaws of a system on society. While the negative effects include those from overfunctionality, abusive practice etc., objective aspects of quality evaluation also exist, linking it the application of technology. When measuring technological quality, the signal to noise ratio of how it diverges from the ideal in both principle and practice can be calculated. Using this hint is one of the methods of quality engineering to design products and optimize the processes of production. By properly understanding these principles, it is possible to form common technologies for optimal system design and management.
