Applying Virtual DOE in the Real World
This article discusses a manufacturing DOE for data mining and artificial neural networks. From Quality Digest, written by Thomas Pyzdek.
Design Of Experiment For Software Testing
When DOE is used for software testing, there is a large amount of savings in testing time and cost. Use of orthogonal array based testing has demonstrated to produce superior test plans that improve testing productivity by a factor of 2. From Madhav S. Phadke and iSixSigma.
DOE With Attribute Response
“Has anyone experienced a DOE with attribute response? Any information on this matter would be much appreciated.” From the iSixSigma Discussion Forum.
DOE With Attribute Response Data
“Can someone please tell me if there is a way to do a DOE when the only response data you can get is attribute (pass/fail)?” From the iSixSigma Discussion Forum.
DOE: The ‘Power Tool’ of the Analyze and Improve Phases
Each step of the DMAIC methodology brings a distinct set of tools to bear on the project objective. For the Analyze and Improve phases, design of experiments (DOE), combined with analysis of variance, is the Six Sigma "power tool." From Dr. Russell A. Boyles.

How to Select Design of Experiments Software
DOE software packages can simplify your design or problem solving, but how do you evaluate all the options? From Quality Digest.
Importance of Test Plans/Test Protocol, with a Template
Test plans, which outline requirements, activities, resources, documentation and schedules, are an important part of performing an experiment. They save time and money, help get the best results and facilitate speedy test report writing. From Kim Niles.
Keys to Successful Designed Experiments
Here are the eight key points to remember when using DOE for statistical analysis. (PDF file) From Stat-Ease Inc.
Most Practical DOE Explained (Including Free Spreadsheet Template)
For purposes of learning, using, or teaching Design of Experiments (DOE), one can argue that an eight run array is the most practical and universally applicable array that can be chosen. There are several forms of and names given to the various types of these eight run arrays (e.g., 2^3 Full Factorial, Taguchi L8, 2^4-1 Half Fraction, Plackett-Burman 8-run, etc.), but they are all very similar. From Kim Niles and iSixSigma.
NCMR Catapults for DOE
Tools and manuals used to perform demonstrations of the affects of variability in processes. From NCMR Company LLC.
Reducing Variability With DOE
As a result of doing systematic experimentation, using sound statistical principles, the quality of processes can be improved and became more robust to variations in the levels of components and processing factors. Apply powerful design of experiments (DOE) tools to make your system more robust to variations in component levels and processing factors. From Mark J. Anderson and Patrick J. Whitcomb.
Save Time With Fractional Factorial DOEs
Design of Experiments (DOE) is a key tool in the Six Sigma methodology because it effectively explores the cause and effect relationship between numerous process variables and the output. Fractional factorial designs are good alternatives to a full factorial design, especially in the initial screening stage of a project. From Shree Padnis and iSixSigma.
Three Romeos And A Juliet - An Early Brush With Design Of Experiments
Three young men, being infatuated with the same woman, agree to conduct a Design of Experiment of love. Statistics and romance intertwine in this entertaining and educational real-life story. Which bachelor will end up with the young lady's hand? Will the Design of Experiment prove successful? Read on... From Ravindra Khare of Symphony Technologies.
Using DOE to Solve a Product Development Problem - An iSixSigma Case Study
Design of Experiments (DOE) helped an automotive company determine factors affecting defect levels in an alternator it manufactured. DOE identified the cause of ventilation noise within the alternator, and moved the problem toward resolution. From Maria di Nucci and Paolo Mancuso.
