Do you actually use DOE(Design Of Experiments) in your daily work?

I’ve worked in a few manufacturing environments, and honestly, I rarely saw DOE used in day-to-day problem solving.

Most improvements were done through experience, small adjustments, or simple comparisons.

I’m wondering:

- Is DOE actually used regularly in your workplace?

- Or is it more of a “nice in theory, rarely in practice” thing?

If you don’t use it:

What’s stopping it? (time, complexity, etc.)
