Statisticians at WL Gore partner with engineers and scientists across the organisation to ensure quality and reliability in all aspects of the business. Learn how WL Gore uses definitive screening designs to analyse multiple factors and optimise production processes. In this case study, Maria Lanzerath shows how definite screening designs were successfully applied to develop and optimise a polymerisation process. Maria is joined by Valérie Nedbal, a senior systems engineer at JMP, making for an engaging look at how this software can be used.

In this webinar you will learn how Design of Experiments (DOE):

  • Create improved process understanding
  • Achieve faster and more targeted experimental product development
  • Help subject matter experts to make decisions based on data
