Enhancing Manufacturing Procedures through Empirical Design Strategies: A Focus on WL Gore

In the realm of data, science, and innovation, three remarkable individuals stand out: Maria Lanzerath, Valérie Nedbal, and Benjamin Valsler.

Maria Lanzerath, the global head of statistics at WL Gore, has been an industrial statistician with the company since 1997. Her contributions extend beyond WL Gore's walls, as she developed a company-wide DoE (Design of Experiments) training class for scientists across the globe. This initiative ensures that data-driven decision making is a fundamental part of their work, helping to improve performance and deliver value.

Working alongside Maria at WL Gore is a team of statisticians, including Anna-Lena Kranz, who has demonstrated the application of defined screening designs for optimizing a polymerization process. The team collaborates closely with scientists and engineers, ensuring that statistics is embedded throughout the manufacturing process.

Valérie Nedbal, PhD, is a senior systems engineer at SAS Institute GmbH in Heidelberg. Before joining SAS, Valérie held the position of Senior field marketing manager for LION bioscience AG. Her previous role as product manager for bioinformatics for SAS EMEA and her support of life science sales activities have been instrumental in the company's success.

SAS, a part of JMP since 1989, is the leader in business analytics software and services. With over 60,000 sites using their innovative solutions, SAS helps customers make better decisions faster, thereby improving their performance.

Outside of the world of data and science, we find Benjamin Valsler, the digital editor of our website magazine. Prior to joining the Royal Society of Chemistry, Benjamin was the producer of the award-winning Naked Scientists. His expertise in communicating complex scientific concepts in an accessible manner makes him a valuable addition to the team.

Together, Maria, Valérie, and Benjamin are driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the fields of data, science, and communication. Their work is making a significant impact, transforming industries and improving lives.
