Introduction

ReliaSoft's DOE++ facilitates traditional Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques for studying the factors that may affect a product or process in order to identify significant factors and optimize designs. The software also expands upon standard methods to provide the proper analysis treatment for interval and right censored data — offering a major breakthrough for reliability-related analyses.

DOE++ has been integrated into the ground-breaking new Synthesis Platform, which offers reliability practitioners the best of both worlds: analysis tools that are optimized to fully meet the individual user's needs for a particular set of reliability engineering methodologies, plus integration into a shared repository (database) that is accessible by multiple users throughout the organization and facilitates integration between all Synthesis applications (Synthesis Elements). This powerful new platform makes it feasible to more effectively leverage and integrate the information from different types of reliability activities throughout the organization.
