    $295
This course focuses on advancing students' knowledge of Design of Experiments (DOE) by using Minitab software for practical analysis. Building on foundational DOE concepts, the course offers hands-on experience in solving two specific problems: one utilizing a full-factorial design and the other using a fractional-factorial design. The course highlights the critical aspects of setting up experiments, conducting analysis, refining models, verifying results, and optimizing outcomes using Minitab. DOE is fundamental in this context because it provides a structured, scientific approach to understanding how different variables influence outcomes in a process, enabling better decision-making and process improvements. Mastering the analysis of factorial designs in Minitab equips students with valuable skills for process optimization and predictive modeling.
