1, identify business problems

Experimental design in business begins with asking an empirical question, which can be answered by experiments. How does our performance management system reduce the annual turnover rate of employees? To what extent has our performance management system improved the enthusiasm of employees? How to motivate employees to improve organizational performance is an empirical problem that DOE can begin to investigate.

2. Adapt to observing changes

Let us take a retail store as an example. It launched a new brochure to let customers know about their special offers. They may first use brochures with attractive slogans to see if customers understand them well. Brochures with attractive slogans will become test cases. Experiments can be designed according to observation. DOE helps enterprises adapt to changes and see if it can be implemented, resulting in the expected result of "customers start to buy discounts".

Step 3 consider interaction

Compared with traditional experiments, the biggest advantage of experimental design is that it can analyze the synergistic effect of various factors on the reaction. When many factors work together, it is very important to find out the combination of factors that can have the greatest impact.

Teams need to carefully prioritize the interactions they want to test. If you use DOE software, you'd better experiment with all possible factors.

4. Determine the alternatives through observation.

If customers can't confirm your special discount, let's try a larger brochure with attractive slogans. This is the second choice, or a new adaptive strategy. This is how DOE helps create, evaluate and propose the changes needed by the business. DOE assists in formulating new strategic changes to achieve expected business results.
