DOE – Factorial Design
Design of Experiment (DOE) is a set of mathematical methods for process optimisation and for quality by design (QbD). The importance of DOE in any manufacturing industry is definitely great, typically crucial, as since 1923 this is the best way to reduce costs and improve quality. The course covers the main DOE method, called Factorial Design, which is a powerful and widely used type of DOE. The easiest yet the most commonly used. This is the step zero to enter the enchanted world of DOE.

Audience
This course is designed for every professional dealing with process and product optimisation, or with quality by design and with quality improvement in general. It also perfectly fits the needs of those whoa re studying a new or complex process and want to understand which variables are really important, while keeping time and cost contained.
