1. DEFINITION
This study is an individual work.
In this assignment, you will research applications of experimental design. Through a review of relevant literature, you will find two articles that present practical applications of DOE in industry (i.e. manufacturing, healthcare, banking, entertainment, construction, energy). The studies may target the same or different industries. You will submit one report that addresses the following in your own words:
· Identification of the industry
· Brief problem summary
· Factors studied
· Responses observed
· Experiment design strategy used
· Findings
Each study must be described in a separate section of your report addressing all the items listed above. The articles must include a practical application example. In your search you should focus on more recent publications (published in the year 2012 and beyond are acceptable).
Note that studies with only simple statistical analysis, for example two sample comparisons, are not acceptable for this assignment. The studies you report on must include experimental design methods such ANOVA, factorial design, fractional factorial design, etc.
Your literature material may consist of the following:
1- Peer reviewed research papers (journal papers or conference proceedings) 2- Case study and/or white papers
There must be two publications discussed in your report, and at least one of them must be a peer- reviewed paper.
2. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
· Use a word processing software to prepare your paper
