Design of Experiments for Product and Process Improvement

Every organization wants to build better products and streamline operations, but random trial-and-error testing is costly and inefficient. Structured experimentation allows you to systematically identify the exact factors that drive performance and quality. This course guides you through the foundational principles of Design of Experiments (DoE). You will transition from guessing to using structured statistical methodologies, enabling you to design efficient tests, analyze data accurately, and implement robust process improvements. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental terminology of DoE, including factors, levels, treatments, and responses - Design full factorial and fractional factorial experiments to test multiple variables efficiently - Analyze experimental results using basic statistical concepts like analysis of variance (ANOVA) - Apply blocking and randomization techniques to eliminate bias and control external noise - Optimize processes by identifying key interaction effects between different variables - Integrate modern software-assisted workflows to streamline data collection and analysis The course begins with core definitions and basic statistical concepts before progressing to practical experimental designs, real-world scenarios, and modern analysis techniques. It is designed for beginners, including engineers, quality professionals, and product managers, with no prior background in advanced statistics required.
