About the Six Sigma Component API

The Six Sigma component provides an API for programmatically configuring the Six Sigma component using a Java program.

For information about component APIs, see Component APIs.

The API for the Six Sigma component consists of the get("SixSigmaPlan") method.

This method returns a SixSigmaPlan object from the com.engineous.sdk.designdriver.plan package. From that entry point you have access to numerous methods for setting/configuring the sampling technique, setting the run mode, adding/editing random variables and responses, and configuring execution options. For more information about configuring the Six Sigma component, refer to the javadocs for the SixSigmaPlan interface—open the following file in a web browser:
