For Black Belts and advanced Green Belts: factor screening, modeling, validation, and linking to project business cases.
Includes MINITAB steps and small datasets for hands-on labs.
Have each learner bring one quantifiable response project; build a design table in class and interpret residuals and optimization plots.
Tie factors and responses to the project charter constraints.
Do not run DOE before factor levels and measurement systems are validated; watch for confounding and overfitting.
Review experimental cost and safety (trial production) upfront.
