The Design Of Experiment and Computer Simulation Workshop

This workshop focuses on the advanced improvement tools of the design of experiment (DOE) and computer simulation (CS).

DOE is the most powerful Six Sigma tool; it focuses on improving process efficiency and product quality. Participants will be able to appreciate how DOE could be used to evaluate and compare alternatives, improve product robustness, improve process yield, reduce variability, reduce development time, and reduce overall costs.

With this background, participants, with the help of the facilitator, will be able to identify potential applications of DOE at their organizations.

CS is a technique for building a computer representation (model) of a system or a process for the purpose of investigating various operation strategies. Participants will be able to appreciate how computer simulation (CS) could be coupled with design of experiment (DOE) to evaluate and compare alternatives; investigate various planning decisions; assess key performance indicators; and reduce overall costs.

With this background, participants, with the help of the facilitator, will be able to identify potential applications of CS at their organizations. Such applications may include, but are not limited to, simulation for deciding on location and capacity of production/service outlets; simulation for manpower scheduling and distribution; and simulation for capacity planning.
