In recent years, there has been a significant change in quality implementation through the application of off-line quality engineering in several industries in both Japan and the U.S. Off-line quality engineering uses parameter design and tolerance design to reduce product development costs. In this part of the study, an overview of the concepts and theories of off-line quality engineering is presented and methods are suggested for implementing these concepts in textile applications.
