This text is the first to successfully blend Taguchi and Classical techniques of Experimental Design into a new and powerful approach that is proven to yield a high return on investment in the industrial arena. It incorporates traditional topics and creative ways to implement and communicate statistics without mathematical complexity.

Topics include: Full and Fractional Factorials, Plackett-Burman, Taguchi, Box-Behnken, CCD, and Robust Designs; Rules of Thumb for Design Selection, Sample Size, Analysis, and Tests for Confirmation.

There are 279 pages of case studies from a variety of industries. The first two chapters (125 pages) are an excellent overview emphasizing proper planning, variance reduction, modeling, and statistical simplicity. Subsequent chapters provide more depth on design types, such as objectives and advantages/disadvantages. Analysis strategies include simple graphs, normal probability plots, ANOVA, regression, and response surface methods to optimize the average response and minimize variation.

FAQS

A Designed Experiment (known as DOE) is a statistical tool that identifies and optimizes the number of random runs, often known as tests, in which the input variables in experimental data are altered simultaneously, and the outcomes are recorded. In business, customized experiments can be used to study processes or product variables that affect product quality. This experiment aims to optimize the value of independent variables, known as a response variables, by modifying the values, also known as levels, of the factors that influence the response.

Once you have identified the process variables and product elements that impact product quality, you can concentrate your efforts on enhancing a product’s manufacturability, dependability, quality, and field performance.

DOE is a powerful approach that may appear deceivingly simple, but it requires in-depth knowledge to be consistently effective. Few obstacles are responsible for the majority of unsuccessful DOE projects. The project’s success is contingent upon the statistician’s discipline and ability to communicate effectively with the scientists, engineers, and managers on the project team who collect data and are most knowledgeable about the product or process.

Experiments with careful planning can uncover and quantify the sources of inaccuracy. Noise Factors are uncontrollable variables that affect normal operating conditions. These variables, such as multiple machines, shifts, raw materials, humidity, etc., can be incorporated into the experiment so that any difference is not labeled as an unexplained occurrence or experimental error.

Two significant factors involved in Designed Experiments are controllable variables and uncontrollable variables. People are usually thought of as a Noise Factor, one of the uncontrollable input factors that cause variation under normal operating conditions. However, blocking and randomization can control these factor levels during factorial experiments.

Aside from the two factors mentioned above, a detailed experimental plan typically consists of three components: experimental and control groups, an independent and dependent variable, and pre-and post-testing.

In measuring systems analysis, common tools and approaches include calibration studies, fixed effect ANOVA, variance components, attribute gage studies, gage R&R, ANOVA gage R&R, and destructive testing analysis. Frequently, instrument selection is guided by the characteristics of the measurement system itself.
