DoE helps in optimizing processes and output in a number of ways

[Adam Fleming]

Design of Experiments (DoE) is defined as a systematized means with which the factors that go into a process and its intended output can be determined. DoE makes extensive use of statistical and experimentation means. DoE helps to optimize the processes of production in a number of environments in a huge range of industries.

The varied uses of DoE

DoE is useful in a number of applications. For instance, it:

o  Helps determine root cause, leading to quick and efficient ways of solving problems

o  Reduces R&D work

o  Optimizes Product Designs

o  Augments Manufacturing Processes

o  Hastens the development of Product or Process Specifications

o  Improves Quality, as well as reliability, of products.

DoE is thus a specialized discipline that needs to be exercised with training. Professionals who work in a number of industries can use the DoE process to optimize a number of processes and results, and thus enhance their bottom line.

Learn the elements of DoE

In order to help professionals derive the best out of DoE; Compliance4All, a leading provider of professional trainings for all the areas of regulatory compliance, is organizing a webinar. This webinar, which will be about the ways by which process behavior can be built and optimized using DoE, will have the well-known and highly experienced expert on statistics, Steven Wachs, as speaker.

Steven, with over 25 years as a statistician, has had extensive experience in the development of statistical models, reliability analysis, designed experimentation, and statistical process control. In his current position as a Principal Statistician at Integral Concepts, Inc., he assists manufacturers in the application of statistical methods to reduce variation and improve quality and productivity.

Get a clear understanding of key concepts behind DoE

At this webinar, Steven will review the key concepts behind Design of Experiments and present a strategy that participants can use to utilize sequential experiments that helps to understand and model a process efficiently and effectively. He will present the various kinds of experiments and their applications.

The appropriate means to screen and optimize experiments, as well as an understanding of mixtures/formulations will be covered at this session. Other important techniques in experimental design, such as replication, blocking, and randomization, will also be covered at this session. Stave will also present a case study that involves optimizing a manufacturing process using multiple responses.

Outcomes

By attending this webinar, participants will be able to achieve the following objectives concerning DoE:

o   Learn a methodology to perform experiments in an optimal fashion

o  Review the common types of experimental designs and important techniques

o  Develop predictive models to describe the effects that variables have on one or more responses

o  Utilize predictive models to develop optimal solutions
