Welcome to "Design and Analysis of Experiments (DoE)"
Join us in exploring the systematic approach of Design and Analysis of Experiments, a comprehensive course designed to advance your understanding from the basics to the intermediate level. This course employs straightforward case studies like coffee tasting and catapult experiments to focus sharply on core DoE concepts, making it accessible to learners from various sectors.
What is Design of Experiments?
Design of Experiments (DoE) is a systematic method to determine the relationship between factors affecting a process and the output of that process. In other words, it helps you understand input and output relationships, making it possible to predict the outcomes of changes to the inputs.
What Will You Learn?
This course offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to cover all aspects of DoE. Here’s what you will learn:
- Fundamentals of DoE:
- Understand the basic principles of experimental design.
- Learn about dependent and independent variables, factors, levels, and treatments.
- Types of Experimental Designs:
- Explore various types of experimental designs including Screening (Plackett-Burman), Modelling (Full, Fractional Factorial, and Split Plot Designs), and Optimizing (Central Composite Design) Designs.
- Data Analysis Techniques:
- Gain proficiency in analyzing experimental data using statistical methods.
- Learn about ANOVA, regression analysis, and other techniques to interpret experimental results.
- Software Applications:
- Learn to use software tools such as Minitab and Microsoft Excel for designing experiments and analyzing data.
- Understand the advantages and limitations of different software applications.
- Practical Applications and Case Studies:
- Apply DoE concepts through real-world examples and case studies.
- Develop practical skills by working on hands-on projects that simulate actual industrial scenarios.
- Advanced Topics in DoE:
- Delve into advanced topics such as blocking, analysis of covariance, replication, confounding, and design resolutions.
- Understand the application of these concepts in complex experimental setups.
