Setting specifications on process parameters can be a difficult job. Setting robust specifications that won't need constant adjustment may seem almost impossible. This presentation will show how a combination of Design of Experiments and Monte Carlo techniques can be used to set robust process specifications in a straightforward, objective manner. You will see an example using published data for a rubber manufacturing process. You will see the stages from designing an experiment for optimizing the process specifications through the use of a Monte Carlo simulator to study the responses to specification changes. You will see these results used to optimize the process specifications. You won't need to delve into the math -- the software JMP will handle that. You will leave this presentation with a new paradigm for setting robust process parameter specifications.

Introducing eCourses -- "Common Statistical Mistakes and How to Avoid Them" is Free Until ,August! .
eCourses provide you with excellent flexibilty for your education. With eCourses you can learn at your own pace, when you want to learn. "Pull" the knowledge you need to yourself rather than having it "pushed" to you.
Two eCourses are currently available:
Common Statistical Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Free Until August!
Basic Statistics for Industry
Access to all eCourses with a personal coach to answer your questions is just $75 per month for as long as you want to continue.
As new courses are added, you gain access to all of them for the same price.
Don't wait too long -- "Common Statistical Mistakes and How to Avoid Them" is only free until August.
You can meet our coaches here. You can learn more about eCourses here.Bill Kappele spoke at the Salt Lake City JMP Area Users Group meetng March 8 at the LDS Church Riverton Office Building located at 3740 West Market Center Drive, Riverton, UT 84065 .

R&D Magazine Provides a Hopeful Report for the World's Economy
R&D Magazine, claims the world recession has ended and that the economy is in recovery. This is especially good news for R&D companies. You can read the report here.
A Design of Experiments case study using the ObDOE 7 Steps is featured in Quality Digest this month.
US Synthetic, a manufacturer of synthetic diamond compacts for the oil drilling industry, used the 7 Step process to improve the quality of one of their excellent products.
You can read their story here.
ObDOE workshops will teach you to use DOE in your work. Design of Experiments is a fundamental technique for industrial experimentation. You will learn to apply DOE easily without excessive math and theory. We will help you be even more successful!
Dr. Lei Yang won free Design of Experiments training from ObDOE while attending the 2009 ACS conference in Salt Lake City. Dr. Yang and members of her research group at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital received their training the week of May 4.
We at ObDOE are honored to be of help to St. Jude's work for children.
Dr. Yang works in the Chemical Biology and Therapeutics Department under the direction of
Dr. Bing Yan.
