4.0 out of 5 stars DOE step by step with examples, October 27, 2006
This review is from: An Introduction to Design of Experiments: A Simplified Approach (Paperback)
DOE is the set of process improvement tools for studying more than one factor in a single experiment. The 92 page book is straight forward with many examples to show the methodology for setting up 2, 3 and up to 31 factor experiments which according to the author will cover >90% of the DOE requirements.

The workbook is filled with case studies and examples from manufacturing problems which guide you through the process and help evaluate your understanding before moving to the next section. The mathematical/statistical equations are a bit intimidating but these can be set-up in a spreadsheet. The author says that these DOE tools can be used on office or sales processes but never gives an example of one.

The value in this book is if you are doing a quality or six sigma project. Also, it will be of value if you are working in industries like chemical or mining, where yields are the key to success. The book shows the equations to use, the eight steps for analysis and the logical steps to creating an experiment. Additionally, it includes an appendix with T (95% confidence level) and F (degree of freedom) values which are necessary references if you attempt to do this without a statistical software package.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, March 29, 2008
This review is from: An Introduction to Design of Experiments: A Simplified Approach (Paperback)
I knew nothing about DOE until reading this book. As an operations manager struggling to discover the cause for various yield problems this book was instrumental in my success in solving numerous problems through experimentation.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book is headed in the right direction..., September 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to Design of Experiments: A Simplified Approach (Paperback)
This is the second least complicated book I have ever read on DOE. Thanks Larry for writing the book! I wish that it had MANY more examples showing each DOE type he covers...Also, there is a need to FURTHER elaborate in simpler terms all of the concepts. I am still not understanding why a DOE book can't come out that isn't easy to read!
