DOE (design of experiments) helps you investigate the effects of input variables (factors) on an output variable (response) at the same time. These experiments consist of a series of runs, or tests, in which purposeful changes are made to the input variables. Data are collected at each run. You use DOE to identify the process conditions and product components that affect quality, and then determine the factor settings that optimize results.

Minitab offers five types of designs: screening designs, factorial designs, response surface designs, mixture designs, and Taguchi designs (also called Taguchi robust designs). The steps you follow in Minitab to create, analyze, and visualize a designed experiment are similar for all types. After you perform the experiment and enter the results, Minitab provides several analytical tools and graph tools to help you understand the results.
