Process Optimization and DOE
Harness the potential of Design of Experiments for precise experimentation, robust analysis, and efficient process optimization.
Course Overview
The Pyzdek Institute Process Optimization and Design of Experiments workshop is hands-on and based on a systematic, error-proofed workflow. The workshop blends Lean Principles, process behavior charts, experiment design and process modeling to develop new products, solve difficult process problems, gain new knowledge, and maintain process stability. Attendees will learn about the “Work-Evaluate-Decide” sub-steps that help avoid common Process Optimization pitfalls and set the stage to make informed business decisions. The course content is relevant to the plastics, food processing, machining, aerospace, automotive and other manufacturing industries. A Certificate of Accomplishment is issued to attendees that regularly attend and demonstrate a good understanding of the course content.
- Format: Instructor-led
- Level: Intermediate
- Location: On-site, Online or Hybrid
- Duration: 24 Hours
Pre-requisites
The course can be taught with JMP® or Minitab®, statistical software. In either case, attendees should have a good understanding of software fundamentals including navigation, menu structure, data integrity, annotations, and graphing. The course includes a 2-hour online session for those without statistical software experience.
To get the most out of the course, attendees should have their own PC, a recent version of the statistical software, a 2-way headset and a webcam. Two monitors are highly recommended.
