Design of Experiment (DoE)
 Introduction

Definition

● DOE is a systematic and highly structured method

for identifying important variables, or factors that
affect quality
DOE
Homing in Technique

Reducing number of variables from many to a few

variables for controlling purpose is known as homing
in technique Multi-Vari Chart Variable Search Full Factorial

Impact of individual factor is known as main effect

Impact created through interaction of two or more

factors together is known as interaction effect

 Full Factorial Analysis

Generally consider 4 or fewer factors and most

frequently used popular homing in technique

Two factors two levels - 2²

Three factors two levels - 2³

Methodology

● Preparation of a combinatorial matrix

● Preparation of ANOVA table

• High interaction effect

• From AB interaction graph,
Minimum defect at A+ and B+
• From AD interaction graph,
Minimum defect at A+ and D+

Purpose is to reduce no of possible cause
to a must smaller variables containing Red
X and Pink X
Methodology
To determine whether the major variation
is positional, cyclical or temporal
● Positional variation
● Cyclical variation
● Temporal variation
Positional
Variation within a single unit, may be attributed
to difference in workers (m/c to m/c, operator to
operator, plant to plant)
Cyclical
Variable between consecutive units from a
process, attributed to differences in floor
management (batch to batch, lot to lot, floor to
floor)
Temporal
Variation from hour to hour, shift to shift, day to
day
