Setting Objective Specifications

Setting Objective Specifications is an advanced workshop for scientists, chemists, troubleshooters, and engineers in setting robust process specifications. The math is done by JMP software.

Benefits of the Workshop

• You will review your Design of Experiments skills.
• You will learn to use models to set specifications objectively.
• You will learn to use the Monte Carlo method to simulate factor variations.
• You will develop greater pride and confidence in your work.

In two days you will learn

• A complete review of DOE techniques
• How to use a mathematical model to make predictions
• How to use Monte Carlo Analysis to study the consequences of manufacturing specifications
• How to estimate manufacturing specification capability (Cpk)
• How to determine process specifications that balance product performance with ease of manufacturing

This is What Happens During the Training

• You will work in teams of two, collecting realistic data from a simulated lab in five exercises. Each exercise provides practice of the methods learned.
• You will learn to use JMP software during the workshop. You use JMP to analyze your data. This practice on real problems provides the confidence necessary to use the methods immediately upon returning to work.
• Everything you learn is practiced during the workshop. Everything taught is demonstrated by real examples. Questions are encouraged. You won't have any homework.

Enhanced Training
You will maximize your use of DOE when you apply it to mission critical projects. You now receive access to ObDOE's consultants for advice and help, allowing you to learn skills pertinent to your specific projects, above and beyond the foundation you receive in class. (You can already ask questions free, for life, about what you learn in class. The Enhanced Training means you can ask questions about anything for a full year.)

Texts
You will receive a copy of the slides and the exercise manual.

Prerequisites
You need to have completed Performing Objective Experiments or its equivalent.

On-site Price

Note: The minimum number of students is 10 -- Travel and software expenses are not included.

10 to 15 Students	16 to 24 Students
$1700 per student	$1550 per student

Example 1: 12 students = 12 x $1700 = $20,400 plus travel and software expenses

Example 2: 20 students = 20 x $1550 = $31,000 plus travel and software expenses
