Course overview

Why Attend

Design of experiments is a powerful method for understanding how multiple factors affect a process and finding optimal settings with minimum testing. It is widely used in manufacturing, laboratories and process industries.

This LLMI course explains experimental design principles, full and fractional factorial designs, analysis of effects and interactions, screening experiments, response surface basics and practical planning and execution. Participants design and analyse experiments using software and case data.

The course enables engineers and analysts to move beyond one-factor-at-a-time testing.
