Design of Experiments (DOE)

DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) DVD SELF-DIRECTED TRAINING Today's highly competitive environment leaves no time for trial and error. DOE is a proven way to identify and understand how process factors affect output. With this information, you can develop the optimum balance between factors and achieve major improvements in quality, cost and productivity. This program emphasizes application over theory and statistical calculations. It is a practical way to conduct and analyze true knowledge-generating experiments using included DOE Wisdom software, hands-on teaching aids and real-world examples. Per-Use training* - This course is available on a "Per-Use" basis. The cost for this option is $195 per person. If you would like a comprehensive Application Guide created specifically to follow along with this course, it is available for $39 (includes shipping). Also available is an Instructor’s Guide $95 (includes shipping) which includes answers to all of the problems in the student Application Guide. This is far more than a self-study course. To get the most out of this course, an expert instructor is available for questions as you take this course, so you are definitely not on your own! After successful completion of this course, each registered student will receive an official Certificate of Completion.
