performance is optimized, and variation is minimized.
Custom Excel file will be provided. Key topics covered:
Learn how to structure a range of experiments, from
quickly organized, simple "back of the envelope"
plans to the more complex ones focused on minimizing
experimental effort; learn how to analyze the resulting data
in relation to single and multiple objective goals; DOE from
highly useful back of an envelope methods through to PC
applications; Excel tools to automate data entry and analysis;
real-life examples and hands-on experiments; how to do full
and fractional factorial experiments; multi-objective
desirability analysis; brief discussion of Response Surface
Methodology (RSM). Text
