DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT


INTRODUCTION

Experimental design is an important tool for improving the performance of a manufacturing process. It also has extensive applications in the development of new process. The use of experimental design can result in products that are easier to manufacture, products that have enhanced field performance and reliability, lower product cost, and shorter product design and development time. Experimental design is used to study the performance of processes and systems. The process can be visualized as a combination of machines, methods, people, and other resources that transform some input (often material) into an output that has one or more observable responses.



WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Engineers, Statisticians, Technicians, Quality Controllers, students and those who are interested in the Design of Experiments from various fields application in their manufacturing facilities.


COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objective of this course is to present a user-friendly optimization technique, and show the benefits of optimization in improving, developing a product to meet customer requirements and reducing overall costs.



COURSE CO-ORDINATOR

PROFESSOR DR. QUAH SOON HOE

Dr. Quah was a professor of statistics at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang. He recently retired from USM after have served for 30 years.
