Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present an application of design of experiments in which students learn how to get real data with application to a case using the catapult, and generate their statistical analysis through software, in order to have a great reliability, at the work development. The variation factors are selected between maximum and minimum levels accepted by catapult. The experimenting has showed. The results of the experiment are collected connected to the desired range, they are presented in tables and interaction graphs and Pareto graph. Doing the experiments it has been showed that not all variables of the catapult initially considered affect the quality of the result of the experiment. That is, for adjusting the bands considered only one factor has a significant effect on the quality of the experiment, it can be stated that there is no need to set a specific value of the catapult, but rather a range of values within which the experiment will have good performance.
