A 7-year DOE veteran shares insights on establishing DOE culture and managing resources effectively.
The Challenge
Establishing DOE-friendly culture at new company. Finding time, resources, and knowledgeable engineers. Avoiding unnecessary use of DOE.
The Solution
Careful management to ensure effective DOE use. Thorough understanding of variables before starting. Timeline planning to avoid resource waste.
The Results
Surprised by accuracy and utility compared to one-factor-at-a-time. Confident extra resources well-used. Successfully managing DOE implementation.
"If you can get past the startup costs, though, there are no downsides at all. It encourages curiosity. But sometimes people want to use DOE for unnecessary things."
