Course: DOE for injection moulding validation
About the course
In process validation, it is essential to provide evidence justifying your process window decisions. While processing engineers bring valuable expertise, auditors often require statistical methods to support these decisions.
Design of Experiments (DoE) is a powerful tool that can save time and provide statistical evidence to justify the selection – and exclusion – of specific process parameters. DoE is straightforward to use once you understand how to interpret its outputs and connect them to real-world conditions.
This course will guide you through key decisions, including input selection, choosing the appropriate methods, and interpreting outputs practically, without requiring advanced statistical knowledge.
Course objectives
This course will provide you with a broad understanding of why the “nominal” injection molding process is structured as it is and how the process validation window is established. The course offers a practical perspective to suit participants from various roles — not just process engineers. It is not a detailed process optimization course, nor a statistical specialist course.
You will learn to
- Identify significant process parameters for product quality and understand their suitability for DoE, as well as why some parameters are excluded from validation
- Recognize the value of applying DoE for process investigations and understand the insights it can provide
- Choose the right type of DoE and interpret analysis outputs effectively, including understanding potential pitfalls
- Understand how to make and analyze a simple DOE in Excel in no time – bring your laptop to participate live
- Leverage analysis outputs to improve quality control plans and reduce inspection resource requirements.
Content highlights
- Understanding process robustness
- Process window definition and parameter selection
- Understanding parameter interactions
- Differences between DoE for validation and DoE for Six Sigma
- How DoE works: planning, analysis, and output interpretation
- Applying DoE conclusions to practical real-world scenarios
Target Audience
This course is designed for professionals involved in tool approval and process validation, including:
- R&D engineers exploring robust process design and validation methodologies
- Quality engineers seeking an understanding of DoE and injection molding process windows
- Project managers and product owners looking to enhance product specifications using validation insights
- Process engineers responsible for process development and documentation
- Analysts needing technical expertise in data analysis for practical applications.
Suggested participants include Quality Engineers and Managers, Project Managers, Process Engineers, Validation Engineers, Six Sigma practitioners, Product Owners, and R&D engineers.
