Course details
Inclusive of course manual, lunch and refreshments.
This will give Engineers/Technicians involved in process improvement a comprehensive understanding of the benefits, details and implementation of the design of Experiments technique.
DOE is a method of completing machine trails, process testing etc in a very structured manner to gain maximum information about processes, problems and quality issues using minimum engineering trials/machine time. By completing a small number of runs, data is analysed to compare the effects of varying a number of parameters against each other, and the interactions between these parameters. Our course practicals use injection moulding equipment and compare the influence of injection speed and screw speed, barrel temperatures, holding pressure and time, decompression and back pressure on moulded part characteristics.
This highly practical course develops the theory of Design of Experiments from a basics through to advanced techniques, demonstrating in a production environment the many pitfalls to completing a good experiment, including:
How to select the right process parameters(factors) to use, and pitfalls to watch out for,
How to ensure errors are minimised by good experimental procedures,
How to ensure test equipment is suitable, and common issues in this area.
Fast checks to make sure the process has stabilised between runs.
Delegates will learn:
- How to Optimise Quality characteristics
- Understanding of the need for experimentation and different approaches to experimentation
- A shot background to Designed Experiments and how they work so well
- The use of orthogonal arrays(structured selection of tests to run, to minimise the amount of testing needed)
- The method of analysis of DOE results
- Understanding tan optimising for variation

About First Polymer Training Skillnet
First Polymer Training (FPT) Skillnet operates as a training network for the Plastics Industry in Ireland and is funded under the government’s Skillnets initiative. The aim of FPT Skillnet is to deliver training that is focused on the specific needs of the plastics industry and includes certification and development.
Initiated by Plastics Ireland, FPT Skillnet’s objective is to provide technical training to polymer processors, both at our centre in Athlone and in-company as required. Our administrative and course centre is now located at 7 Centre Court, Blyry Business and Commercial Park, Athlone.
A full range of plastics processing equipment is available including Fanuc (100 tonne Electric), Krauss Maffei (100 tonne Hydraulic) and Demag (25 tonne Hydraulic) moulding machines. They are delighted to announce Arburg UK have replaced the ARBURG ALLROUNDER 320C 500 170 50 tonne machine with a new ARBURG ALLROUNDER 420C 1000 290 100 tonne golden Edition machine. This machine is equipped with the latest SELOGICA Direct touch screen control.
Having a full range of plastics processing equipment on site allows FPT to deliver intensive hands on training.
How can They meet your company’s needs?
First Polymer Training Skillnet organises a calendar of courses which are delivered at our centre in Athlone. These courses are advertised regularly. HoTheyver, if your company has specific needs They can design a course to meet those needs or modify an existing course to deliver in-company.
