Today's highly competitive environment leaves no time for trial and error. DOE is a proven way to identify and understand how process factors affect output. With this information, you can develop the optimum balance between factors and achieve major improvements in quality, cost and productivity. This program emphasizes application over theory and statistical calculations. It is a practical way to conduct and analyze true knowledge-generating experiments using included DOE Wisdom software, hands-on teaching aids and real-world examples.
