Overview
Most of the classic DOE books were written before DOE software was generally available, so the technical level that they assumed was that of the engineer or scientist who had to write his or her own analysis software. In this practical introduction to DOE, guided by the capabilities of the common software packages, Paul Mathews presents the basic types and methods of designed experiments appropriate for engineers, scientists, quality engineers, and Six Sigma Black Belts and Master Black Belts. Although instructions in the use of MINITAB are detailed enough to provide effective guidance to a new MINITAB user, the book is still general enough to be very helpful to users of other DOE software packages.Every chapter contains many examples with detailed solutions including extensive output from MINITAB.
Synopsis
In this book/CD-ROM introduction to the design of experiments (DOE) using common software packages, Mathews, a consultant to engineering organizations, presents basic types and methods of designed experiments appropriate for engineers, scientists, quality engineers, and Six Sigma experts. Although instructions in the use of MINITAB are detailed enough to provide guidance to a new MINITAB user, the book is general enough to be helpful to users of other DOE software packages. The enclosed CD-ROM contains Excel files with data for example problems, homework problems, MINITAB macros, a set of experiment design files with simulation macros in both MINITAB and Excel.
