Design of Experiments I (DOE I)

Acquire the foundation and skills for the successful implementation of practical experiments to achieve efficient process improvement. This course teaches participants how to plan and conduct effective experiments, analyze the results, and avoid the common misapplications in practice. Knowledge of basic algebra is helpful.
