Design of Experiments (DOE)
Price:
$995 per participant
Description
Designed Experiments are powerful tools to improve product quality, reduce costs and shorten developmental time. They also promote the concept of variation reduction through off-line quality control. The objective of this program is to familiarize students with all aspects of experimental design, so they can practically apply the skills.
Outline of Topics Covered
- Defining quality
- Quality characteristics
- Quality loss function
- Planning for experimentation
- Classification of factors
- Choosing factor levels
- Full and fractional factorials
- Orthogonal arrays
- Interactions
- Degrees of freedom
- Assignment of interactions using interaction tables and linear graphs
- Blocking, randomization and replication
- Response tables and graphs
- Optimization
- Additivity of effects
- Signal-to-noise ratios ( Taguchi techniques )
- Analysis of variance ( ANOVA )
Who Should Attend
Individuals, who will manage, conduct or participate in designed experiments, such as:
- Manufacturing, design and quality engineers,
- Technicians/technologists, and
- Quality and production managers/supervisors.
Benefits
This course will enable an organization to qualify their key personnel in the use of one of the most powerful manufacturing and design tools available. Participants will take away the knowledge of how designed experiments can be used to correct incapable processes, reduce the impact of supplier variation and environmental factors, reduce scrap and rework and optimize product characteristics to the design requirements.
Prerequisites
Delegates will benefit from having exposure to SPC or college level statistics.
Certificates
All attendees receive an official certificate upon successful completion of the course.
