Course Description
This 1-day Lean Design of Experiments (DOE) course introduces participants to a streamlined, practical approach for planning and executing experiments that identify key process factors and optimize performance. By integrating Lean principles with DOE methodology, participants will learn to design experiments efficiently, minimizing waste while maximizing learning.
Through interactive exercises, real-world case studies, and step-by-step instruction, participants will gain the skills to select critical factors, design effective trials, and analyze results to make data-driven improvements. The course emphasizes the financial benefits of Lean DOE, including faster problem resolution, reduced trial-and-error costs, improved process yields, and measurable ROI from more efficient experimentation.
