The purpose of this publication is two-fold. First, it provides a process where the quality of either new or existing equipment, processes, or products can be optimized. In the case of existing processes, the procedure will maximize the output given the constraints built into the process. In the case of new processes, the procedure will insure that when the process is turned over to day-to-day operations in a state of control and capable of meeting customer requirements.
The second purpose is to provide a structure for performing statistically designed experiments in industry. An example experiment is used to show how to do this, and blank forms are provided to walk the practitioner through the process of designing and performing an optimization experiment.
