Finding The Ultimate Course on Design of Experiments (DOE)

DOE is All About Efficiency

Why is Design of Experiments vital for all scientists, engineers, project managers and pizza shop
owners?

Design of Experiments (DoE) is a method for the statistical planning and evaluation of
experiments. A Design of Experiments is developed to analyze the effects of many factors on a
system in the fastest and most structured way possible. We are therefore more than sure that if
DoE is done correctly, it will save a great deal of trouble, cost and time in the long run. DoE is
also a very important tool in a Six Sigma strategy.

What Is the Purpose of DoE?

The purpose of DoE is therefore to learn as much as possible about the relationship between
influencing variables (factors/inputs) and outcomes (outputs/responses) with as little
experimental effort as possible. The application of the DoE allows us to obtain a regression
equation to describe the relationship between factors and outcomes (Y = f(x1 ... xn)).

What are the Possible Applications of DoE?

Product and process development.
Optimization of target values.
Determining the optimum production set-up to reduce waste, make processes and products safer,
Reduce costs and improve quality.
Investigation and, if necessary, correction of errors whose causes are not clear.
Analysis of the robustness of a system against external disturbances. Validate processes through
Methodical investigation.
