This course provides participants with skills to plan, conduct, and analyse DoE experiments for process and product quality improvement, highlighting its value in understanding complex variables, optimising processes, reducing variability, and making data-driven decisions.

Learning Outcome

  • Describe the terminology, key basics, strategy and methodology of Design of Experiment (DoE)
  • Describe and outline the methodology and steps to conduct 2 levels full and fractional factorial Design
  • Create design matrix for experiments
  • Conduct and interpret analysis results (graphical and numerical) produced by Minitab Statistical Software
  • Draw conclusions for screening and optimisation

Methodology

The methods used here are the combination of lecture + interactive discussion + group exercise.

Pre-requisite

A basic technical background or 2-5 years of working experience in any business operation discipline.
