This industry-specific edition of our Modern DOE course is a case-study based workshop spanning factorial to response surface designs in one stop. Find out how to make breakthrough improvements in your medical devices using powerful design of experiments (DOE) techniques. Start by learning about using factorial designs for finding which factors you need to focus on. Discover previously unknown interactions that often prove to be the key to success. Use your resources efficiently with modern small-run designs that save time and money experimenting. Transition from factorials to response surface methods to optimize your products and processes. Tie all of this together by learning how to use powerful ANOVA analysis methods that give you confidence in your findings.

This workshop covers the practical aspects of DOE. During this DOE workshop, you will discover how to effectively:
"The instructors were wonderful! Enormous depth of knowledge and clear passion for the subject matter. I loved that stats were approached from a practical view vs. a purely mathematical view. Truly a great course." —Kate Kruziki, Senior Engineer
Use Design-Expert® or Stat-Ease® 360 software to practice designing and analyzing experiments throughout the workshop. The software provides easy-to-use graphical tools to find key variables and view results. You will be given all simulation and data files used in class.
The Distance Learning version of this course will be run as five (5) half-day Zoom sessions - Monday - Friday (9:00am - 12:30pm US Central Time) in the stated week.
Course contents subject to change.

It will be assumed that all students have completed the following prerequisites. This knowledge is essential for success in the course.
Knowledge of basic statistics (mean and standard deviation), and exposure to simple comparative experiments (e.g. two-sample t-test) are required. To refresh these skills and review basic concepts and terminology, please take the online PreDOE course prior to the workshop. It takes 2-3 hours to complete. You can work at your own pace. Access to the PreDOE will be provided with your course registration materials.
Basic knowledge of Design-Expert software is assumed. If you are not familiar with the software, then please download a trial of Stat-Ease 360 software (if you do not already have access to it) and work through the first tutorial: One Factor - Bowling, found in the Help system. This will show you how to navigate and introduce the basics.
PDHs: 15 (equals 1.5 CEUs)
The Distance Learning version of this course will be held via Zoom Meetings. You will need to download the Zoom Cloud Meeting app prior to the first session.
