Quality by Experimental Design

This bestseller shows how to design and analyze experiments statistically, drive process and product innovation, and improve productivity. It presents an approach to experimentation that assesses many factors, builds predictive models, and verifies the models. This fourth edition contains four new chapters on mixture experiments, updated computer programs used to perform simulations, and additional exercises. With its easy-to-read, conversational style, the text is suitable for any course in applied statistical experimental design or in a Six Sigma program.

Achieve Technological Advancements in Applied Science and Engineering Using Efficient Experiments That Consume the Least Amount of Resources

Written by longtime experimental design guru Thomas B. Barker and experimental development/Six Sigma expert Andrew Milivojevich, Quality by Experimental Design, Fourth Edition shows how to design and analyze experiments statistically, drive process and product innovation, and improve productivity.
