JMP Software: Classic Design of Experiments

Classroom duration: 2.0 days Live Web duration: 4 half-day sessions CEU: 1.2

This course teaches you how to design and analyze experiments. Designed experiments can help optimize the process response or identify the vital few factors that drive your product or process. The course emphasizes the principles of experimental design and includes screening designs and response surface designs.

Learn how to

explain the fundamental principles of designed experiments
generate and analyze full factorial, fractional factorial, split-plot, and screening designs including designs with blocking factors
create and analyze classic response surface designs
use the custom design tool.

Who should attend

Anyone who would like to understand and improve process design, such as engineers, scientists, and Six Sigma practitioners

Classroom Course Materials

Students receive a hardcopy of the course notes and, in some courses, can choose to take home a copy of the course data.

Live Web Course Materials

Students attend Live Web classes using a Web browser and a telephone and interact with their instructor and fellow classmates in real time. Each student receives an e-mail with instructions on how to join the class three business days before the class begins. The instructions e-mail includes a link to download the course materials, including the exercise files. Students need to download and print the course materials prior to class.

System Requirements

For Live Web, you must

review and follow the general system requirements.
complete the course exercises through our virtual lab. The virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class over the Internet, so that you do not need this software on your local machine.
run this test to connect to a virtual lab session. If firewall problems prevent you from connecting to the virtual lab, then you will need the following software installed and configured in your environment to participate in the course exercises:
- JMP Version 7, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel (Setup Instructions)
  Tip: To ensure that your ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel is installed and set up properly:
  1. Open JMP.
  2. From the JMP Starter window, click Open Data Table.
  3. Select the Files of type drop down list.
  4. Scroll through the file types until you see Excel Files (.xls).
    If Excel Files (.xls) is included in this list, then your machine is set up to use the ODBC driver for Excel.
    If Excel Files (.xls) is not listed, contact your system administrator for support.
