Stat-Ease, Inc. and CQ Consultancy hosted the 6th European DOE User Meeting in Leuven, Belgium on May 18th-20th, 2016. We offered two design of experiments (DOE) workshops on the 18th, and then the two-day DOE User Meeting on the 19th-20th. The venue at the historic Faculty Club was charming--complete with cobblestone streets, flowers in full bloom, and delicious artistically-arranged cuisine. The technical program was also excellent. We learned about the latest techniques in design of experiments (DOE) from well-known speakers in the field, and practitioners from a variety of industries spoke about their DOE successes, as well as some not-so-successful experiments and what they learned from them.

Attendees had the chance to network with others and consult with experts about their DOE questions. A highlight of the meeting was our special event on the 19th that included a concert by the choral group, Currende, a delicious dinner at Improvisio, and then beer sampling under the stars at The Capital. A good time was had by all. Hopefully you can join us for the 7th DOE User Meeting in 2018. Look for details to come!

Stat-Ease, Inc. and CQ Consultancy are pleased to announce the 6th European DOE User Meeting and Workshops on May 18-20, 2016 in Leuven, Belgium. It will be held at the Faculty Club, which is part of the historic Grand Béguinage. The béguinage originated in the early 13th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage location.

On the first day of the event there will be two workshop tracks offered: Figuring Out Factorials and Optimal Formulation and Processing of Mixtures via Combined Designs. Then on days two and three, a user meeting will be held with presentations by keynote speakers including Pat Whitcomb, Mark Anderson, Peter Goos, and more, as well as case study presentations by DOE practitioners. This is your chance to increase your DOE know-how, network with others, and do some sightseeing in beautiful Leuven. For more information and to register, click here.

The Optimal Formulation and Processing of Mixtures via Combined Designs workshop is a must for those with some familiarity of process experiment design who work in industries that formulate products. In this one-day presentation Stat-Ease experts will lay out the essentials of mixture design and build up from there to experiments that lead to the optimal combination of ingredients and how they get processed, thus hitting the sweet spot for manufacturing the highest-quality product at lowest cost.
