I am providing a paid webinar Wednesday 8/17/2011. Here is its summary. This webinar will focus on the analysis of fractional factorial Design Experiments (DOE). We will follow a method published in Forrest Breyfogle’s book, “Integrated Enterprise Excellence Volume III – Improvement Project Execution.” This method involves a methodical analysis of a DOE that provides [...]

Have you ever heard of this method? I have hear people talk about using this method for years, but have never used it myself. I called my two most experienced DOE mentors and one had seen someone else use it the other had never seen it. What is d-optimal design? In short it is a [...]

We had a potential client call about getting Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) training for their Black and Master Black Belts. This client said the right thing, that they were looking to “sharpen the saw” for their belts. Think about it, most of us went to training and then nothing more. We run a few [...]

Nearly every good course in Lean Six Sigma uses a catapult in their training. A catapult provides a tool/process that the students understand that will provide data for analysis. The data has random variation and non-random variation. It can be used for statistical process control (SPC), hypothesis testing (t and f tests), ANOVA, Regression, design [...]

One of my peers shared with me his understanding of EVOP (Evolutionary Operations). If you do not know of EVOP, it is an optimization method based on simple little DOE (design of experiments) tests. He told me that the original Box book on this technique discussed chemical plants that continuously adjust their settings according to [...]

Design of Experiments (DOE) provides a structured approach where a small number of test trials can efficiently and effectively determine the response effects from multiple factors.
