Design of Experiments

Upcoming Dates
  • Start Anytime
    Online Anytime
    $295
This three hour asynchronous course offers an introduction to quality improvement methods grounded in statistical analysis, focusing on the Design of Experiments (DOE) in industrial settings. Through observational methods and factorial designs, students learn to identify key factors influencing outcomes and analyze sources of variation in processes. Factorial designs involve conducting experimental runs at various combinations of factor levels, allowing for a thorough understanding of individual and interactive effects between factors. DOE is essential because it enables efficient experimentation, optimizing processes and guiding informed decisions in product development, manufacturing, and other data driven processes. Mastering these tools allows engineers to validate models and predict performance with greater accuracy.

Design of Experiments in Minitab

Upcoming Dates
  • Start Anytime
    Online Anytime
    $295
This three hour asynchronous 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.
