DOE is often seen as a manufacturing tool, or at least as a technical tool. However, any process with inputs and outputs can be improved with this tool. This video talks about 3 areas, including a focus on a running DOE which found a surprising medical issue.

About Perry Parendo
Perry's Solutions, Inc. was founded to help companies achieve product and process breakthroughs using Design of Experiments (DOE). Research of industry training programs shows they do not address the required applications for these tools, resulting in their training investment falling short of needed and wanted improvement. The company leverages their extensive DOE experience in new product development and manufacturing operations to bring you an innovative yet effective methodology for all developers desiring a quantum-leap improvement in product or process effectiveness.

Calories counted by treadmill will depend on treadmill manufacturer’s own experimentation.
A study at Stanford University took a look at seven different devices to check their accuracy. The results showed that the most accurate of them was off by an average of 27% and the least accurate by 93%. The heart rate monitor was the most reliable function, but the researchers concluded that the calorie counter should not be counted on.
