Using Design of Experiments (DOE) to improve quality: The coffee case

07 September 2017 (Thursday)

Join us to increase your knowledge about Design of Experiments (DOE), a very powerful tool that can be used to optimize process parameters. DOE methodology helps users identify process parameters that impact product quality (‘critical’ process parameters) and determine the functional relationship linking process parameters to critical quality attributes. During the webinar we will use screening designs, such as 2k factorial and D-optimal designs, on a practical daily process, to determine important process parameters and to showcase the use of the methodology. Minitab can be used to present results.
