Delivering breakthrough product & process performance

The Southern California Discussion Group of the ASQBiomedical Division Presents:     

 

Design of Experiment:

Delivering breakthrough product & process performance

           An Industry Roundtable Discussion   

                      

Thursday, March 21, 2013
5:30pm to 8:30pm

Topic:   

Utilizing a key six sigma tool, DOE to optimize product & process performance

Design of Experiments (DOE) is used to dramatically improve product and process innovation, effectiveness, and efficiency. DOE is the scientific approach used by researchers to build empirical mathematical models of product and process performance. These models are formulas that are used to optimize product and process performance while significantly reducing costs. DOE is considered the most powerful Six Sigma optimization tool and the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) strongly encourages its use during medical device development.

Takeaways:

*  Understanding DOE (DOE VS One-Factor-at-a-Time VS Taguchi)
*  Learn how to create & analyze a factorial experiment
*  Learn how to optimize product and process performance while reducing variation and costs

Please bring your questions, experiences, and other commentary to make this a more valuable experience.
