Course Summary
QC Training Services’s Design of Experiments (DOE) class will detail a proven way to identify and understand how process factors affect output. With this information, you can develop the optimum balance between factors and achieve major improvements in quality, cost, and productivity. Today’s highly competitive environment leaves no time for trial and error.
Testimonials
“Lots of useful information. We need to develop a plan in the very near future to get some DOE’s going to utilize what we’ve just learned.” – Jessica, Michigan
“Excellent training and a strong tool to make improvements.” – Pablo, Texas
“This course provided valuable tools necessary in reducing variation and addressing process issues. The instructor was very knowledgeable and understands how to keep the class engaged and enthusiastic about the course. Class exercises using the props made the course interesting and relatable.” – Ryan, California
Target Audience
Anyone responsible for improving processes and products, including managers, engineers, supervisors, quality assurance personnel, technicians, and machine operators.
Prerequisites
All attendees are assumed to have a working knowledge of basic SPC. It is helpful if the participants have some basic math skill like calculating Mean and Standard Deviation. They should have a very basic knowledge of Excel. They should be interested in learning a powerful technique (Design of Experiments) that will help them find the root cause of a process or product problem. We will also use Mini Tab in the training but it is not a requirement to know Mini Tab. We will learn how to use Mini Tab to set-up, run, and analyze a Design of Experiment in the training.
