Design of Experiments: New Methods and How to Use Them - Continuing Education - Course
ASA, Section on Quality and Productivity
Instructor(s): Douglas C. Montgomery, Arizona State University, Bradley A. Jones, SAS Institute Inc.
This course focuses on several major aspects of design of experiments (DOX)-including both the practical and statistical aspects-and interpretation of results. Many organizations have effectively integrated the design of experiments methodology into their overall operational improvement strategy, including those deploying Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS). DOX is the most powerful of the Six Sigma tools, and its effect on product design and development, manufacturing, and production operations can be profound. 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. This course is unique in that it discusses new approaches to choosing a design and analyzing the resulting data that have only been recently available. These methods allow you to solve the most complex experimental design problems easily and directly using the same general approach. Participants should be familiar with introductory experimental design and basic statistics.
