תקציר	Simulation-assisted process capability analysis combines Monte Carlo simulation with classical capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Cpm) to evaluate whether a process can consistently meet specification limits when direct measurement is costly, dangerous, or impractical. By propagating input distributions through a process model, the analyst obtains a simulated output distribution and derives capability metrics without waiting for physical production runs. The approach is especially valuable during product design, process scale-up, and tolerance stack-up studies.	Design of Experiments (DOE) is a systematic framework for planning, conducting, and analyzing controlled experiments to determine how multiple input factors simultaneously affect one or more responses. Introduced by Ronald A. Fisher in 1935, DOE allows researchers and engineers to identify causal relationships, quantify factor effects, and find optimal settings efficiently — using far fewer runs than one-factor-at-a-time approaches. It is foundational in engineering, manufacturing, agriculture, and applied sciences.
