About the course

In process validation, it is essential to provide evidence justifying your process window decisions. While processing engineers bring valuable expertise, auditors often require statistical methods to support these decisions.

Design of Experiments (DoE) is a powerful tool that can save time and provide statistical evidence to justify the selection—and exclusion—of specific process parameters. DoE is straightforward to use once you understand how to interpret its outputs and connect them to real-world conditions.

This course will guide you through key decisions, including input selection, choosing the appropriate methods, and interpreting outputs practically, without requiring advanced statistical knowledge.

Course objectives

This course will provide you with a broad understanding of why the “nominal” injection molding process is structured as it is and how the process validation window is established. The course offers a broader perspective to suit participants from various roles—not just process engineers. Is not a detailed process optimization course, nor a statistical specialist course.

You will learn to

Identify significant process parameters for product quality and understand their suitability for DoE, as well as why some parameters are excluded from validation
Recognize the value of applying DoE for process investigations and understand the insights it can provide
Choose the right type of DoE and interpret analysis outputs effectively, including understanding potential pitfalls
Leverage analysis outputs to improve quality control plans and reduce inspection resource requirements.

Content highlights

Understanding process robustness
Process window definition and parameter selection
Identifying parameter interactions
Differences between DoE for validation and DoE for Six Sigma
How DoE works: planning, analysis, and output interpretation
Applying DoE conclusions to real-world scenarios

Target Audience

This course is designed for professionals involved in tool approval and process validation, including:

R&D engineers exploring robust process design and validation methodologies
Metrology personnel aiming to align measurement strategies with validation requirements
Quality engineers seeking an understanding of DoE and injection molding process windows
Project managers and product owners looking to enhance product specifications using validation insights
Process engineers responsible for process development and documentation
Analysts needing technical expertise in data analysis for practical applications.

Suggested participants include Quality Engineers and Managers, Project Managers, Process Engineers, Validation Engineers, Six Sigma practitioners, Product Owners, and R&D engineers.
