Quickly Find the Key Factors
DESIGN-EASE^® software for design of experiments (DOE) helps you make big breakthroughs in product quality and process efficiency. Uncover hidden interactions among variables. DESIGN-EASE lets you to quickly design and analyze your factorial experiment, using highly efficient statistical techniques. Include up to 15 factors and 128 runs in standard DOE. DESIGN-EASE provides you with a full range of powerful two-level factorials to optimize your product or process.

Select your design with handy builder. It goes up to 15 factors and 128 runs! (portion of actual screen shown for detail)

"Incredibly Easy To Use!"**
You don't need to be a statistician or a computer expert! DESIGN-EASE makes DOE easier than ever before. The program guides you through the steps needed to properly design and analyze your experiment. If you choose a fractional factorial, DESIGN-EASE shows you the pitfalls -- which main effects and interactions become confounded. Stoplight color-coding allows you to easily view the resolution of your design: green = go, yellow = caution, red = stop.

Software produces your run sheet.. It's like a recipe, but in random order.

Software Gives Recipe For Success
Once you settle on the design, the program generates recipe-like worksheets in random run order. When you complete your work, just enter your data into the DESIGN-EASE screen. Then, in a matter of minutes per response, do statistical analyses that used to take hours of hand calculations. Just point and shoot on the progressive tool-bar images! The software comes with complete documentation, including tutorials that quickly teach you the essentials. Plus, on-line help is just a keystroke away.

Plot of normal probability vs. measured effects identifies the vital factors in your process.

Graphs Worth 1000 Numbers
View your effects on the normal probability plots generated by DESIGN-EASE: see the significant variables at a glance! As an added plus, DESIGN-EASE helps you validate the analysis with residual plots. This critical statistical step should not be overlooked. Finally, with complete statistical confidence, generate plots of the effects. Show the key interactions in your process!

Rotatable 3D Plots for Dazzling Reports*

Statistics That Back You Up
DESIGN-EASE provides complete analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistics. Check out the probability values to determine significance and minimize your risks. If your data passes the tests, proceed with great confidence when you make your report to clients or management.

Easy To Use, Yet Very Powerful
DESIGN-EASE software provides core tools to make experimental breakthroughs:

• Push-button interface, pop-out views (New*)
