Statistical Engineering for Robust Product Development

While non-engineers tend to rely upon heuristic thinking for decisions, engineers traditionally use deterministic modeling in their tasks. However, the challenges posed with cutting-edge applications can drive us beyond deterministic to statistical engineering: Merging engineering modeling with Design of Experiments, Response Surface Modeling, Monte Carlo Simulation, Variance Transmission and Bayesian methods. The melding of engineering modeling with statistical approaches - Statistical Engineering - empowers engineers to develop confidence for ourselves and our customers that our products are likely to be successful and that we can flawlessly meet or exceed expectations.
