Nowadays Design of Experiments (DOE) has been used intensively in industrial environment as an important tool to identify critical factors related to a certain output characteristic. Another relevant characteristic is that the DOE can also be used as a strong resource on “physical system modeling process”, as presented in this paper. It was possible to generate a transfer function relating the output and the main input factors and in sequence a Monte Carlo simulation was used in order to predict the process capability. It was possible to observe a strong convergence between predicted results and real world results.
