Value-added Management with Design of Experiments (IFIP)

The purpose of this book is to show engineering management how to add value 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.

In this book, the author points out that every manager, or more correctly, everyone 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). Value-added Management with Design of Experiments is not a DoE text. The real thrust of this 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 is to show how to use this versatile, effective, and efficient tool in applications beyond the traditional manufacturing and design engineering ones. It is to show how DoE can be used as a unifying theory throughout an organization. Value-added Management with Design of Experiments will prove invaluable to technical and production managers, design, manufacturing and industrial engineers and to marketing and procurement personnel.
