Design of Experiments for Engineers
and Scientists by Jiju Antony
Excellent Book For Both Industrial And Academic Use
The tools and technique used in the Design of Experiments (DOE) have
been proved successful in meeting the challenge of continuous
improvement over the last 15 years. However, research has shown that
applications of these techniques in small and medium-sized manufacturing
companies are limited due to a lack of statistical knowledge required for
their effective implementation. Although many books have been written in
this subject, they are mainly by statisticians, for statisticians and not
appropriate for engineers.
Design of Experiments for Engineers and Scientists overcomes the
problem of statistics by taking a unique approach using graphical tools.
The same outcomes and conclusions are reached as by those using
statistical methods and readers will find the concepts in this book both

familiar and easy to understand. The book treats Planning,
Communication, Engineering, Teamwork and Statistical Skills in separate
chapters and then combines these skills through the use of many industrial
case studies. Design of Experiments forms part of the suite of tools used in
Six Sigma.
Key features:
* Provides essential DOE techniques for process improvement initiatives
* Introduces simple graphical techniques as an alternative to advanced
statistical methods - reducing time taken to design and develop prototypes,
reducing time to reach the market
* Case studies place DOE techniques in the context of different industry
sectors
* An excellent resource for the Six Sigma training program
This book will be useful to engineers and scientists from all disciplines
tackling all kinds of manufacturing, product and process quality problems
and will be an ideal resource for students of this topic.
Dr Jiju Anthony is Senior Teaching Fellow at the International
Manufacturing Unit at Warwick University. He is also a trainer and
consultant in DOE and has worked as such for a number of companies
including Motorola, Vickers, Procter and Gamble, Nokia, Bosch and a large
number of SMEs.

Personal Review: Design of Experiments for Engineers and
Scientists by Jiju Antony
This book provides insight into various aspects of design of experiments.
Design of experiment is a powerful tool, which is used for process

planning, designing and analyzing the experiment, and to obtain effective
and efficient conclusion. Author has exploited his industrial and academic
experience to provide detailed analysis of design of experiment with
examples and hence this book is at centre stage for Decision Makers
(DM). On studying this book, DM (engineers and managers) can easily
apply design of experiment to real world problems and explore the
influence of each and every parameter on the process performance.
This book is comprised of 9 sections, each presenting various aspects of
design of experiments. First section addresses the introduction to DOE,
which stresses on importance on experimentation in an organization.
Second section discusses fundamentals of DOE with a framework to
develop a measurement system and quality characteristics for industrial
experiments. Section 3 illustrates the significance of interaction of process
parameters, and provides graphical tools to handle them. Fourth section
illustrates the concrete steps to plan, design, conduct and analyze the
industrially designed experiments. Section 5 presents screening design,
used for exploring, and discovers their influence on the process
performance. Section 6 discusses the use of full factorial designs at 2
levels in industrial experiments and how to analyze and interpret the
results of experiments using graphical tools generated by Mini tab
software. Section 7 points out the importance to construct fractional
factorial experiments. In section eight key points are depicted for making
successful experiments. Last section provides eight real life industrial
problems to illustrate the power of DOE.
One of the key facets of this book is enclosure of number of case studies,
which exploits the capability to build knowledge base on design of
experiments. This book also bridges the gap between real life problem and
research work using design of experiments.
This book will be of great interest to students and researchers, who are
most of the time aware of the existing theories but not conversant to select
the best method or the value of process parameter which has significant
effect on the performance metrics of the system. The book is well
structured and contains ample case materials, reflective questions, and
references to promote future research in this area. The book is easy to
read, and likely to find its way on to the desk of practitioners, students and
researchers.
