Description

DOE is a planned approach for determining cause and effect relationships. It can be applied to any process with measurable inputs and outputs. Originally developed for agricultural purposes, it has found its way into all areas of business. Most notably are pharmaceutical, chemical, manufacturing, food, and processing industries.

The application of DOE allows the practitioner the ability to find the very best combination of factors and levels to run any process. The benefits are gains in productivity and quality. It is intrinsic to total cost management.
