Experiment Design Made Easy (2.4 CEU's)

Identify the Vital Few Effects—Make Breakthrough Improvements
Find out how to make breakthrough improvements using powerful design of experiments (DOE) techniques. Stat-Ease, Inc. puts it all together for you in a computer-intensive series of DOE workshops. Try out your skills along the way with realistic simulations. Start with our Experiment Design Made Easy workshop to learn efficient methods for finding which factors you need to focus on. Discover previously unknown interactions. These often prove to be the key to success. Learn how to use powerful statistical methods that give you confidence in your findings.


Apply Tried and True Techniques
Experiment Design Made Easy covers the practical aspects of DOE. You learn all about simple but powerful two-level factorial designs. The workshop follows the standard approach outlined in Douglas Montgomery's book, "Design & Analysis of Experiments." (The text is optional. Students may also purchase the DOE Simplified book if they like.) During this introductory DOE workshop, you will discover how to effectively:

  • Implement the DOE Planning Process
  • Augment low-resolution designs
  • Interpret analysis of variance (ANOVA)
  • Discover hidden interactions
  • Exploit efficient fractional designs
  • Screen variables to find the vital few, even in the presence of active interactions
  • Determine when to use transformations
  • Explore categorical factors with general factorials
Choose the Best Strategy
The "Experiment Design Made Easy" workshop helps you plan your DOE by selecting the appropriate designs. It guides you through your experiment and strategical analysis.

"Practical. Good mix of theory and application."
—Chris Easter, Metallurgist

Simulations Provide Practice
Use Design-Expert® software to practice designing and analyzing experiments throughout the workshop. The software provides easy-to-use graphical tools to find key variables and view results.  You will be given a path to all simulation and data files used in class, which are posted to a special Internet site where you can also link to a free fully-functional, but time-limited, copy of Design-Expert software for use after class.

"Gives you the 'hands-on' that puts it all together."
—Matt Hanken, Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Course Syllabus

Prerequisites
Math skills and knowledge of basic statistics are recommended. Assess your abilities by taking the free Self-Assessment Questionnaire available at www.statease.net. If you aren't ready for the Experiment Design Made Easy workshop, take the online PreDOE course first for only $95.00 (takes 3-6 hours to complete, you can work at your own pace).

Before attending class, please go through the One-Factor Tutorial, and then look at the One-Factor Self-Study presentation. You will find links to both below.

1. One-Factor Tutorial

2. One-Factor Self-Study
