Design experiments to be robust to input variation
"For scientists and engineers, design of experiments enables a better exploration of the experimental space. It enables them to get a more robust solution and to have a better trust in their results. […] It enables production teams to always have the same quality consistency for their products. To make sure that the products produced are robust to input variation. "
- Victor Guiller (L'Oréal)
There are many benefits from making your products, processes, and measurement systems robust to variation in the inputs – whether they be process settings, material properties, or technician/operator instructions. These beneficial outcomes include greater consistency of the product, higher product quality, lower ongoing costs, and greater flexibility to adapt as material or process inputs need to change.
Learn how to design new products, develop new processes, improve existing processes, and develop new and improved current measurement systems so that they can all tolerate as much variation as possible in incoming material, processing, and operating characteristics.
This presentation includes a case study and a panel of industry leaders who discuss the barriers to adoption, how to overcome them, and how to implement the methods.
- Victor Guiller, Scientific Expertise Engineer, L’Oréal, shares his experience using design of experiments.
- Stuart Little, JMP Systems Engineer, discusses using DOE for quality improvement.
- Martin Demel, JMP Senior Systems Engineer, explains the impact of using the Design Space Profiler.
Key takeaways:
- How variability inherent in products or processes puts business objectives at risk.
- How existing processes can be made more robust to changes in critical inputs, such as material.
- The various ways to design tolerance to change and robustness directly into new products and processes.
- The benefits of doing this – greater consistency and flexibility, higher quality, lower costs – and how to start implementing these methods yourselves.
