Abstract
Does the use of statistical methodology such as design of experiments stifle innovation? This is an important theme in this paper. Design of experiments is viewed as part of a process for enabling both breakthrough innovation and incremental innovation, without which western society will fail to be competitive. Quality engineering technology in general is part of a broader approach to innovation and business improvement called statistical engineering. The most powerful statistical technique in statistical engineering is design of experiments. Several important developments in this field are reviewed, the role of designed experiments in innovation examined, and new developments and applications of the methods discussed.
