Consider the simplicity of these two DOE examples. Next, consider the assertion that DOE isn’t put into practice as often or deeply as experts feel it should be. Describe and discuss the roles that simple examples like these might play – both positive and negative – in contributing to this lack of acceptance and penetration of the DOE techniques in practice. For example, is there obviousness to the conclusions of these simple examples that might actually contribute to hurting people’s perceptions of DOE? In providing such simple examples, do we sometimes actually inhibit management’s ability to properly visualize the true value that DOE could provide in more realistic (and therefore complicated) situations? Do these types of examples help support the required early learning, and, if so, are there typically articles out there that support learning at the next level of complexity? Try to draw a conclusion about why DOE isn’t practiced more widely in most workplaces.
