DOE
Design of Experiments

The Taguchi Method

Design of experiments (DOE) or 'off-line quality control' as Taguchi called it is a natural extension of statistical process control (SPC). DOE is a critical component of Six Sigma Quality and lean manufacturing. It helps you find out which process inputs are really important to insure a high quality product at the  lowest cost.

Design and Production

Taguchi DOE can be used at both the product design stage and the production stage. Some of the topics covered are: A discussion and review of the Taguchi’s definition of quality and its relationship to Design of Experiments, Purpose and scope of DOE reviewed and what the experiments should provide as results.

We review each step of performing a DOE experiment with emphasis on the most critical steps. The student learns the importance and use of linear graphs and a lot more.

You should be able to start designing and implementing your experiments immediately after taking the class.

Practical Applications

Learn the practical uses of DOE in production. Save your company thousands of dollars in
problem solving, process correction and product design by preventing problems with DOE.

Students should bring a statistical calculator. Loaners will be available if you forget or don't have one.

You can have this class presented at your business for as little as $53.00 per person. Travel expenses not included.

Class is one day.
