The Scientific Method
Science is built of facts the way a
house is built of bricks; but an
accumulation of facts is no more
science than a pile of bricks is a
house.

DOE Stages
Helicopter Experiment - Stage Objectives
Overall Objective: To increase flight time.
Stage One Objectives: Brainstorm to
decide on factors that possibly influence
flight time. Decide which factors are
control factors and which ones are noise
factors.
Stage Two Objectives: Decide on factors
that are to be included in an eight run
screening design and determine their
levels for the design.

Helicopter Experiment - Stage Objectives
Stage Three Objectives: Run the DOE from
Stage Two to screen out active factors from
inactive ones. For the active factors,
decide on possible settings for the next
DOE Decide on what new factors might
be included in the next design.
Stage Four Objectives: Run the DOE for
the factors and their settings decided in
the previous stage.
