Question 163

You are the project manager for a marketing project to mail out 1,000,000 postcards to prospective customers. Rather than mail out all 1,000,000 postcards at once, you and the team design three cards of different designs that you’ll mail in batches of 100,000. Whichever card gets the best response will be the selected card for the balance of the 1,000,000. What quality tool are you using in this scenario?
  • A Design for X
  • B Design of experiments
  • C Quality assurance
  • D Rule of seven
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

This is the design of experiments, which means you’ll do experiments on a smaller pool of the project before making decisions for the entire project. You can do this with materials – such as paint, software, and other resources before making project decisions. It helps to ensure that the project will use the best solution of all the possible alternatives identified.
