Production and process teams across South African industry often tune settings by trial and error, changing one factor at a time and never finding the best combination. This course introduces practical design of experiments so teams can test several factors at once, find the settings that give the best yield and quality, and prove the result with data. The methods are taught with worked factory examples rather than heavy theory.
This course is aimed at process engineers, production technologists, laboratory technicians, and continuous improvement practitioners who want to optimise process settings scientifically.
