Design of Experiments (DOE)

Who Should Attend?

All levels of an organization can benefit from Design of Experiments Training. DOE is the last week of the Black Belt Training or can be taught as a stand alone class. DOE will provide participants a basic understanding of the DMAIC roadmap, however most of the course will focus on the Improve Phase, looking for the best input settings to achieve the required output result.

What to Expect:

This 5 day class is Week 4 of Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training and will provide each participant with the ability to:

Identify and Define opportunities within their business unit processes where Six Sigma tools and techniques can, and will be applied
Measure and Analyze a process using the six sigma methodology
Improve a process using six sigma principles. Much time will be spent understanding how input variables affect outputs. Finding the most economic settings in processes to achieve desired results is the key.
Control a process by using Six Sigma tools and realize Return on Investment (ROI) from this training to improve the bottom line
Repeatedly apply the Define – Measure – Analyze – Improve – Control (DMAIC) strategy to produce success stories and improve the corporate scorecard
Communicate at all levels of an organization
Change the culture of an organization
