Setting Robust Process Specifications Using Design of Experiments and Monte CarloTechniques
Tuesday, March 23, 2010: 2:00 PM
Mission B (Grand Hyatt San Antonio)
William D. Kappele, ObDOE, Bellingham, WA
Setting specifications on process parameters can be a difficult job. Setting robust specifications that won't need constant adjustment may seem almost impossible. This presentation will show how a combination of Design of Experiments and Monte Carlo techniques can be used to set robust process specifications in a straightforward, objective manner. You will see an example using published data for a rubber manufacturing process. You will see the stages from designing an experiment for optimizing the process specifications through the use of a Monte Carlo simulator to study the responses to specification changes. You will see these results used to optimize the process specifications. You won't need to delve into the math -- the software JMP will handle that. You will leave this presentation with a new paradigm for setting robust process parameter specifications.

A Design of Experiments case study using the ObDOE 7 Steps is featured in Quality
Digest this month.
US Synthetic, a manufacturer of synthetic diamond compacts for the oil drilling industry,
used the 7 Step process to improve the quality of one of their excellent products.
You can read their story here.
Objective Design
of Experiments workshops will teach you to use DOE in your work. Design of Experiments
is a fundamental technique for industrial experimentation. You will learn to apply DOE easily without excessive
math and theory. We will help you be even more successful! |

Dr. Lei Yang won free Design of Experiments training from ObDOE while attending
the 2009 ACS conference in Salt Lake City. Dr. Yang and members of her research group at
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital received
their training the week of May 4.
We at ObDOE are honored to be of help to St. Jude's
work for children.
Dr. Yang works in the
Chemical Biology and Therapeutics Department
under the direction of
Dr. Bing Yan.
