Two Tools, One Goal: A Process You Can Count On
Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) are two of the most powerful tools in Lean Six Sigma. Used together, they deliver optimum quality and maximum productivity, from start-up through the entire process lifecycle. DOE finds the right settings. SPC keeps them there.
What is Design of Experiments?
DOE is a structured statistical method for understanding and improving processes. By systematically varying key process variables, DOE identifies the factors and interactions that drive performance and produces predictive models. These models accelerate startup optimization, solve complex problems, and improve yield and quality. The practice of DOE fosters collaboration among operators, technicians, and engineers, building process knowledge, teamwork, creating a sense of ownership and pride in sustainable results.

Keep Your Process Performing, Day In and Day Out
Optimizing a process is only the beginning. Materials change, equipment wears and teams turn over. Statistical Process Control gives your people the tools to hold onto the results you’ve achieved and keep improving from there.
What is Statistical Process Control?
Statistical Process Control is a method for monitoring and managing process variation over time. Using data and control charts, your team can see when a process starts to drift and act before it produces scrap, rework or customer complaints. SPC protects the gains from start-up and improvement projects and gives operators and leaders a shared view of process health.
