What is this course about?
Design of Experiments (DOE) is an approach to process design and analysis that identifies which input factors in a process (e.g. temp, pressure, time, altitude, colour, material type) have most influence on the process outputs. DOE enables the selection of optimal settings for these inputs in order to optimize process outputs. This series of four interactive 4 hour workshops introduces DOE to development chemists, engineers, managers, and technicians. The focus is on the practical application of this essential product and process development tool. The software application used is SAS JMP. To enhance student learning, use is made of an online DOE simulation tool.
The course covers factor selection, experiment design and execution, and visual statistical analysis using JMP. In addition to an online simulation tool, detailed case studies and interactive Q&A are used to deepen student learning. Each of the 4 webinars lasts 4 hours each. Total contact hours = 16 hours for all 4 webinars. In addition to the contact hours on webinars, participants are required to work on small assignments between modules. This build confidence in designing and executing a DOE using the online simulation tool.
All Lean Ireland online tutors are certified Lean Six Sigma black belts with several years’ experience in facilitating online workshops in a wide variety of sectors.

Lean Ireland courses are offered on an in-company basis only i.e. all candidates are from the one organisation. Course content is customised to meet the organisation’s need, at no extra cost.
What Will You Achieve?
On completion of this course, you will understand:
- The need for good experiment design
- How to select relevant factors (process inputs) for DOE
- How to structure selection of tests to run, to minimise the amount of testing needed
- How to design and run an experiment
- How to graph and analyse DOE results
- How to bring about a significant sustainable process improvement, based on scientific understanding of influencing process inputs.
Many of our clients have shortened new product development times significantly, as a result of attending this course.
On completion, you will receive a Lean Ireland certificate of completion.
What Topics Will Be Covered?
This introductory module reviews the significance of a robust measurement systems before embarking on DOE. Students receive a grounding in JMP software and learn how to use graphical techniques that that assist with understanding processes as part of the DOE planning effort. The webinar also include a introduction to full factorial designed experiments. Selecting relevant factors is a critical input to an effective experiment. A simulation exercise will enables us to design and run a simple 3 factor, 2 level experiment. Accuracy in data recording of results is critical to the outputs reviewed in the following module.
- Introductions
- Introduction to JMP
- Measurement systems analysis (MSA)
- Pre experimental techniques: main effects and regression analysis
- Introduction to DOE
- Designing a simple full factorial experiment
- Factor selection
- Corner points in DPE design
- Centrepoints
- Quiz
- Running a simple experiment – Catapult simulation
In this webinar we will continue our review the DOE graphical outputs provided by JMP they are derived from the statistical ANOVA analysis. We review statistical results from the simulated experiment conducted in the first webinar. Correct interpretation of the outputs enables us to accept or reject the findings of the experiment and to modify our experimental design if required. Participants will use a Mug’s Guide, such that the origins of the JMP displays can be understood.
- Analysing and experiment graphically
- Analysing and experiment statistically
- Review of ‘A mug’s guide to DOE ANOVA analysis’
- Assignment 1 of 2: multiple choice questions
- Quiz
- Q&A
A fractional design is a design in which experimenters conduct only a selected subset or “fraction” of the runs in the full factorial design. Fractional factorial designs are a good choice when resources are limited or the number of factors in the design is large because they use fewer runs than the full factorial designs.
- Analysing and experiment statistically
- Fractional factorial DOE
- Aliasing in DOE
- Resolution III & IV experiments
- Assignment 2 of 2: Fractional factorial DOE case study, using an online simulation tool
- Quiz
- Q&A
In this final module we review non-linear responses and a number of DOE case studies. We also discuss common DOE problems and review participant’s DOE designs.
- Blocking
- Contour plots
- Dealing with curvature
- Evolutionary operations (EVOP)
- Response surface methodology
- Case studies
- Review & close
Total contact hours = 16 over 4 x 4hour webinars. The webinars are hosted on a secure learning management system. In advance of course commencement, participants are enrolled in the secure group.
The course will run with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 participants. Please contact us to enquire about suitable course dates for your team.
We will gladly customise our courses to suit our clients. We can add modules, exams and more case studies relevant to your industry all with the aim of giving you even better value and learning from our courses. This course can also be facilitated via onsite workshops. Call us on +353 91 870708, or send an email for details.
How Will You Be Supported?
During this online course, you will
- be able to listen to and interact with the online course tutor and other participants;
- be able to ask questions and complete online quizzes to self-assess your understanding of the topic;
- be able to participate in DOE simulation exercise online and complete assignments on same;
- be able to download all online course recorded webinars for your own future use, and
- be able to download soft copy presentation files, with data sets and case studies, for your own future use.
This series of online DOE webinars is designed for product or process development chemists, engineers, scientists and statisticians in all industries and services including pharmaceutical, medical, automotive, general engineering, semiconductor, plastics and composites. DOE is also particularly useful for the development of new analytical tests and methods. In summary, this approach is useful to anyone charged with optimizing the performance of a process that has many input variables.
Prior to participating, participants should have a basic knowledge of statistics. A foundation webinar can be arranged for those who need a grounding in statistics before the course commences.
