Master experimental design to understand processes

Do you need to adjust 5 welding parameters? Testing each combination one by one would require 32 trials. A well-chosen factorial design allows you to identify the influential factors in just 8 or 16 trials.

The Design of Experiments training course will enable you to understand and master the different methodologies for optimizing your experimental processes. You will explore the advantages of different designs over traditional methods, and learn how to construct and interpret these designs to obtain reliable results. 

On completion of the Design of Experiments course, you will be able to design optimized experiments, saving time and reducing costs by minimizing the number of trials required. By mastering complete and fractional designs, you'll be able to select the method best suited to your objectives, while limiting the risk of error or bias in the interpretation of results.


Why take our course on experimental design?

The experimental design training course is lively and interactive. Numerous exercises on Ellistat's Data Analysis software will enable you to put theory into practice. The resources and help provided by our teams will make it easier for you to assimilate complex concepts.

Trainees' Feedback

A highly energetic trainer who makes complex concepts very accessible to his audience. He takes the time to explain things step by step and chooses examples tailored to our industry, which is greatly appreciated. This training should be a prerequisite for any engineer whose job involves qualifying processes or products. It teaches participants how to use experimental designs effectively and how to quickly assess a process’s capability. The mathematical concepts covered are accessible and always linked to an illustration of their application or usefulness within the context of the Experiment Plan. It is still helpful to discuss them in class to understand the mechanics behind each action performed in the software.

The instructor provided a good level of explanation. Some eConcrete examples. A training course on experimental design that is much pmore practical than the explanation of all the formulas hidden behind the model.

High-quality content, applied through exercises using simulators or in real-world scenarios. A very clear and structured approach and methodology. Tools are thoroughly covered in both theory and practice. 
Yohann

This is a hands-on, practical training course where we learn how and when to conduct a DOE. That was the goal.

The training really takes you deep into the method, and the Ellistat software is a real plus. The trainer is very knowledgeable and dynamic.
Clément

The subject is explored in detail with a logical progression throughout the training, without being drowned in information. You want to apply what you discover and learn.

Enough time to review the key concepts several times through exercises and to put them into practice through the very hands-on catapult lab.
