VIRTUAL DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE/DOX)

Date: 9th & 10th July 2025

Platform: TEAMS

Tutor: Denis Sexton

Fee: Non Member £350* / BGA Member Free

Please note this course is over 2 sessions. You will need to attend all sessions to complete the training.

This online course is held over 2 sessions and is fully interactive with detailed examples and plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Why learn about DOE?

Properly designed experiments will improve

• Understanding of the Cause and Effect relationship in any process

• Predictive knowledge of the process, in order to improve it

• Control process costs, while meeting or exceeding customer requirements.

• 
  

The course will cover:

• Background to DOE in understanding the cause and effect relationship

• Understanding data types, and the wide range of experimental tools.

• Planning an experiment (including gear measurement considerations)

• Determine if any factor or combination of factors is significant

• Screening trials and observations

• Replication and Repetition

• Statistical control and stability

• Analysis of Results via ANOVA and define prediction equations

• Process optimisation to reduce costs

• Case studies

• Software options

Module 1. Introduction to DoE Theory: 

By the end of this module, the participant will:

• Understand the strategy behind Design of Experiments (DoE/DoX)

• Understand the types of experiments

• Understand the goals of an experimental strategy

• Understand the concept of “between group” variation to “within group” variation.

• Understanding the within group randomness assumptions and the experimental methods to test these assumptions

• Understand Coding

• Understand the limitations of One-Factor-At-a-Time (OFAT) experiments

Module 2. Methods of Data Analysis: 

By the end of this module, the participant will:

• Understand the importance of control charts as analytical tools in DoE, and how to interpret them.

• ANOM, ANOR, and ANOME

• Understanding multi-level factors.

• Understand the concept of interaction.

• ANOVA for graphical and numerical analysis.

• Testing Results via “SPC for Excel®” and “Minitab®”

• General measurement issues.

• Evaluating the Measurement Process (EMP) studies
