The objectives of DoE are to adjust the quality characteristics (or design or process output) to the optimum performance by properly choosing the best combination of factors and levels, as shown in Fi...

Design of experiments (DoE) is a systematic method for determining the effect of factors and their possible interactions in a design or a process toward achieving a particular output of the quality ch...

The concept of the design of experiments (DoE), alternatively known as “robust design” or “variability reduction,” has been used to reduce some of the sources of manufacturing variation or manipulate ...

Accurate estimation of new product cost and quality is becoming very important for electronic enterprises. A good understanding of how cost and quality affect major decisions in material and process s...

The test and repair cost driver in Table 6.7 is a historical estimate in the technology-based cost model, and is based on previous or similar products FTY yields. In the quality-based cost model, test...

The quality of current products and manufacturing processes is dependent on their history and original design parameters....

The strategy for the implementation of six sigma quality in current product manufacturing is quite different form the strategy of setting and achieving six sigma quality goals for new products....

One of the most important consequences of implementing six sigma has been the increased use of DoEs by the design engineering community....
