Design Of Experiments (DOE)

Well-designed experiments are a powerful tool for developing and validating cause and effect relationships when evaluating and improving product and process performance. Designed experiments are the only efficient way to verify the impact of changes in product or process factors on actual performance.

Dr. Doug Montgomery from Arizona State University, an internationally known expert in the field, will be presenting key aspects of DOE, including the statistical side, and how it impacts your business.  He will also provide an overview of effective utilization of DOE strategies and practical interpretation of results.  Dr. Montgomery is the author of the most widely-used textbook on the subject and has over 30 years of experience in teaching and using the methods in a wide variety of industrial end business settings. Other topics of discussion will be:

 

*how sequential experimentation is used in building knowledge and understanding of how complex systems work


*how statistical and process-oriented thinking can guide the experimental planning process to produce the most effective experimental strategy


*fundamental concepts and methodologies of DOE and how to master the techniques


*how major software packages can facilitate effective implementation of DOE
