Design of Experiments (DOE)
Overview/DescriptionTarget AudienceExpected DurationLesson ObjectivesCourse Number
Overview/DescriptionBy the time they reach the Six Sigma« Improve phase, organizations have a solid understanding of how and why their processes fail to meet customers' expectations. Organizations use the Design of Experiments (DOE), a key methodology of the Six Sigma Improve phase, to quantify with statistical precision the factors that are causing this gap. Well-designed experiments result in effective process redesign, and ultimately, improved organizations. This course explains how to design and implement efficient and effective improvement experiments. Six Sigma is a registered Trademark of Motorola Corporation, and all right, title, and interest in Six Sigma belongs to Motorola.
Target AudienceCandidates for Black Belt certification; managers/executives overseeing personnel involved in the implementation of Six Sigma in their organization; consultants involved in implementing a Six Sigma proposal; and organizations implementing a Six Sigma project
