Summary

The purpose of this book is to show engineering management how to add value to their organization by understanding and applying Design of Experiments (DoE) in a comprehensive, unified approach to all functions. The primary emphasis is on how to manage the use of DoE to add value.

Value-added Management with Design of Experiments Summary

Value-added Management with Design of Experiments by Lloyd W. Condra

In this book, the author points out that anyone who performs a management function, must have some reliable method of adding value to the products and services of the organization. One way to do this is by properly understanding and using Design of Experiments (DoE). This book is not a DoE text. The main emphasis of the book is to expand the horizons of those who manage, in order for them to see new possibilities of adding value themselves, and of managing value-added operations. It shows how to use this versatile, effective and efficient tool in applications beyond traditional manufacturing and design engineering and how DoE can be used as a unifying theory throughout an organization. This book should be of interest to practising industrial and manufacturing engineers, quality professionals, senior undergraduate and graduate IE students, and MBAs.

Table of Contents

Chapter 1 Value-added management: managers of change; the changing work force; the changing work place; value-added management; value-added management with design of experiments. Chapter 2 Value-added management with design of experiments: introduction; the Friday afternoon scenario; the fabric lamination experiment; three types of experiments; classical and taguchi arrays; DoE and other quality tools; interactions among factors; where do the arrays come from?; is it really necessary to find the root cause? the tile experiment; the management challenge - where and when to use DoE. Chapter 3 Value-added manufacturing with design of experiments: introduction; the heat sink attachment experiment; copying vs learning; pro-active vs reactive process development and control; interpreting results with analysis of variance - the wave solder experiment; the DoE process from beginning to end; automated design of experiments. Chapter 4 Value-added product design with design of experiments: managing the design function; DoE in the design process - the automotive suspension example; iterating the DoE process - the rocket engine example; response surface methodology; design decisions and product cost; dealing with factors we can't control; ANOVA in product design - the night vision goggle experiment; the loss function; luck and the value-added manager; seven features of a good product design; summary. Chapter 5 Adding value to the supplier-customer relationship with DoE: the beginning of the modern procurement system; the traditional procurement process; the myths of the traditional procurement process; how to evaluate products from multiple sources in a designed experiment; evaluating multiple sources with column upgrading; using design of experiments with quality function deployment to convert customer needs to effective products; adding value to the supplier-customer interface with joint DoE projects - the copper quality example; using DoE to add value to the capital equipment aquisition process; summmary. Chapter 6 Value-added communications and concurrent engineering with DoE: the ancient art of concurrent engineering; concurrent design and manufacturing engineering - the elastometric connector example; concurrent manufacturing and reliability engineering - the thermostat design experiment; concurrent materials selection and reliability engineering - the automotive interior plastic experiment; concurrent marketing, sales, design and manufacturing with DoE; summary of DoE in concurrent engineering; DoE as a value-added management communications tool. Chapter 7 Value-added management with design of experiments: building cathedrals; managing the culture; managing the technology;; managing the data; implementing the DoE strategy.
