Genichi Taguchi

Genichi Taguchi, born January 1, 1924, in Tokamachi, is an engineer and statistician. From the 1950s onwards, Taguchi developed a methodology for applying statisics to improve the quality of manufactured goods. Taguchi methods have been controversial among some conventional Western statisticians, but others have accepted many of the concepts introduced by him as valid extensions to the body of knowledge.

Taguchi was raised in the textile town of Tokamachi, in the Niigata prefctur of  Japan. He initially studied textile egineering at Kiryu Technical College with the intention of entering the family kimono business. However, with the escalation of World War II in 1942, he was drafted into the Astronomical Department of the Navigation Institute of the Imperil Japanese Navy.
After the war, in 1948 he joined the Ministry of Public Heath and Welfare, where he came under the influence of eminent statistician Matosaburo Masuyama, who kindled his interest in the design of experimnts.  He also worked at the Institut of Statisticl Mathematics during this time, and supported experimental work on the production of penicillin a Morinaga Pharmaceuticals, a Morinaga Seika company.
In 1950, he joined the Electrical Communications Laboratory (ECL) of the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation just as statistical quality control was beginning to become popular in Japan, under the influence of W. Ewas Deming and the Japanee Union of Scientists andEngineers. ECL was engaged in a rivalry with Bel Labs to develop cross bar and telephone switching systems, and Taguchi spent his twelve years there in developing methods for enhancing quality and reliability. Even at this point, he was beginning to consult widely in Japanese industry, with Toyota being an early adopter of his ideas.
