Design of Experiment (DOE) is one of the most powerful improvement tools. It is a strategic, enabling methodology to improve process yields and product quality. At the same time, it reduces the product development time and overall costs by changing one or more process characteristics after studying their effects on the product. In recent years, DOE has been used by quality practitioners as a key driver for many quality improvement initiatives including Six Sigma.
This course addresses all the essentials of DOE to ensure a successful implementation of this improvement tool.
The participants will be able to:
• appreciate how DOE can greatly improve product quality
• accelerate their learning process through participating in the various exercises understand the full cycle of the DOE process and apply it.
Introduction to DOE
• The applications and benefits of DOE
• One factor-at-a-time approach
• Comparison of traditional and model methods of experimentation
Planning For Effective Experiment
• Basic principles and DOE procedure
• Replication, Randomisation, and Blocking
Full Factorial Experiment
• Basic concepts and applications of full factorial experiment
• Main Effect and Interaction Plots analysis
• Orthogonal Design
Experimental Analysis
• Graphical analysis and interpretation
• Y=f(x) analysis
Fractional Factorial Design (2 levels)
• Basic concepts and application of fractional factorial design
• Confounding patterns and design resolution
• Selection guideline for 2 level fractional factorial design
DOE Success Factors
• A Strategy for Choosing the Appropriate Design
