Designed of Experiments III - Advanced (1 day)

Instructor

Dr. Wayne A. Taylor

Course Description

This course teaches how to design specialized designed experiments including augmenting a screening experiment into a response surface study, excluding regions from the study and including higher order effects including cubic terms and 3-way interactions. It also shows how these techniques fit into both the Six Sigma improvement and design processes.

Primary Audience

All scientist, engineers and other technical staff.
