Design of Experiments II - Response Surface Studies (1 day)
Part of Six Sigma Program.
Instructor
Course Description
This course teaches how to design and analyze one type of designed experiment called Response Surface Studies using the Minitab software package. It shows how this tool fits in the Robust Tolerance Analysis process for setting specifications as described in STAT-11, Statistical Techniques for Setting Specifications, of the book Statistical Procedures for the Medical Device Industry as well as how it fits into the Six Sigma Improvement and Six Sigma Design processes. Much of the material is from the book Optimization & Variation Reduction in Quality.
Primary Audience
This course is designed for those managers, engineers and scientist responsible for developing or improving products and processes.
