Description
In this volume, the author demystifies the Design of Experiments (DOE). He begins with a clear explanation of the traditional experimentation process. He then covers the concept of variation and the importance of experimentation and follows through with applications. Stamatis also discusses full and fractional factorials. The strength of this volume lies in the fact that not only does it introduce the concept of robustness, it also addresses robust design with discussions on the Taguchi methodology of experimentation. Throughout the book the author ties these concepts into the Six Sigma philosophy and shows readers how they use those concepts in their organizations.

Design of Experiments (DOE) is a process of planning and conducting scientific experiments so that appropriate information can be collected and easily analyzed. Stamatis, a quality engineering expert, concentrates on the DOE aspects of analytical work, first explaining the traditional experimentation process and then developing concepts including variation, full and fractional factorials, robustness, and the Taguchi approach. Throughout, Stamatis ties these concepts into the Six Sigma philosophy and shows readers how to implement them in their own work. Appendices include a review of some of the mathematical concepts, tables, formulas, and annotated computer commands for several software packages. Annotation c.
