Training Information

DoE – experimental design DoE (Design of Experiments) is a structured, statistical planning and execution of processes to obtain relevant product and process parameters that influence their respective influence on output variables of interest. DoE provides a data model on the cause-and-effect structure of products or processes.

From this, characteristics and interactions as well as the optimal settings can be determined. Get an overview of DoE’s practices and techniques in a mix of training and workshop exercises. The learned knowledge can be profitably converted into operational practice.

Objective:

With the method of statistical experimental design, you learn to gain maximum results about the effects of influencing parameters and with as little effort as possible. It will show you solutions how to improve the quality of your products and processes efficiently.

Target group:

Employees and executives from the fields of engineering, quality management, production, CIP, technicians as well as R & D from manufacturing companies and service companies.
