  • Although, it would be nice to have some one uninvolved do the facilitating, I do recognize it is not often possible to have such privilage. Of course, never let that stop you from proceeding with your project. Just be aware that when you facilitate your own project, you naturally would be perceived as the "fox guarding the chicken coop". Ask what should you do about it? Just be little extra humble, be patient, and and allow others to input their say before you do.
  • Dr. Roy, Nice brief overview of why we need Design of Experiments (DOE) in the workplace. Jim now Sr. Project Engineer, Engine Cooling Modules CTCNA (CKNA-Development Engineering) Calsonic Kansei North America, Inc. Phone (931) 680-6166 Fax (931) 680-6121
