Here's what others are saying:
"Easily the most valuable class I've taken in 28 years at ConocoPhillips."
George Schuette, ConocoPhillips
"I learned how to APPLY DOE."
David Tattershall, Lexmark International
"Excellent instructor and invaluable tools. Highly recommended. "
Scott North, Barlean's Organic Oils
"Bill has helped my company learn design of experiments techniques we are using to produce new product ideas and process changes. I gained more practical knowledge in 5 days with Bill than I did in a semester long industrial statistics course. This success has compelled me to continue working with Bill on more advanced DOE topics. I highly recommend his services to any company looking to improve product and processes efficiently."
Jason Wiggins, US Synthetic
Why 5 steps instead of 7?
This presentation explains how the ObDOE 5 Step Methodology evolved from Dave Doehlert's original 9 Step method through the ObDOE 7 Step method.
Please watch to see why the changes occured and how they will benefit you.
Video by Katrina Kappele. Beth and Bill hit by lightning?
Beth and Bill got to sit in a Faraday Cage at the Spark Museum of Electrical Invention in Bellingham, WA, for Bill's birthday. The cage was hit by a "bolt of lightning" from a very powerful Tesla coil. Thanks to the laws of Physics, no one was hurt.

Objective Reliability Analysis -- A New Workshop is Available
If you'd like to predict the reliability and life of your products, but you don't want to deal with all the math involved with lognormal and Wiebull distributions (argh!) then this is the workshop for you!
Objective Reliability Analysis
Here's what others are saying:
"A very thorough look at reliability fundamentals minus mathematical complexity."
Jason Wiggins, US Synthetic
"You did a great job speaking in plain English and making sure we all understood the concepts."
Brad Smith, US Synthetic

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.

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.
