Dave leaves behind over six thousand students whose lives were changed by his inspired and impassioned instruction.  To him, no other accomplishment was nearly as important.

Methodologies Devised

The Nine Step Method for Experiment Design

This starts with clearly identifying and stating the problem to be solved and takes the problem-solver right through how to present the experiment results to customers and management.  (Dave didn't like the word problem, but that is the most direct way to state it.)

Software Inspired

Dave was not a software engineer, but he was very good at stating what he wanted software to do.  This led to two significant programs..

STRATEGY

The pre-eminent experiment analysis program pioneering the use of GridSearch techniques for honing in on the answer to many-factored, multi-response problems.  Customized for use with Gosset software.

Created by Charlotte Criste and Andrea Tabor

STRATEGY for Windows

This is the 32-bit Windows version of the classic DOS program.  Customized for use with Gosset and I-Opt software.

Created by Al Corwin, Tim Litten, and Ron Schoenberg.

STRATEGY 2000

Under Construction by Process Builder.

Over the last two-and-a-half years of his life, Dave worked on creating the specifications for STRATEGY 2000.  He was convinced that DOE software could be made both easy to use and robust.
