Overview

“Design of Experiments (DoE)” is designed for roles such as Quality officers, quality managers and auditors and Production, manufacturing and process owners. In 6 hours you work your way through Factors, levels and responses, Full and fractional factorial designs and Randomisation and replication in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

Stable processes, traceable quality and compliance with normative requirements are a lasting competitive factor in industry, services and administration. The Design of Experiments (DoE) training gives you the methodological knowledge you need and shows how to apply it in daily work. We use realistic case studies, templates and checklists that you can put to work in your company straight away. Each course lasts one day, runs online or on site and is built around practice: understand first, then apply together, then transfer to your own area.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
