制造课程中的学生可以接触到制造设计中的质量概念的一种方法是进行工业实验。存在许多这样的方法。为了教会学生质量是过程的一个组成部分，实验设计必须是一个质量是每个加工步骤的函数，而不是一个零件与公认标准的比较。田口方法就是这样一种方法。它被广泛接受，不太复杂，而且实现起来很经济。这在教育环境中效果很好。

One technique in which students in a manufacturing curriculum can be exposed to the concepts of quality in manufacturing design is by performing industrial experiments. Many such methods exist. In order to teach students that quality is an integral part of the process, the experimental design must be one where quality is a function of each processing step rather than a comparison of a part to an accepted standard. Taguchi methodology is one such method. It is widely accepted, not overly complex, and economical to implement. This works well in the educational environment.
