Abstract
The main objective of this chapter is to highlight the strategic role that a systematic and sequential approach of experimentation plays in order to achieve competitive advantage and technological innovation. The efficacy of this approach is demonstrated by describing an application where the appropriate use of statistical knowledge, along with technological knowledge, has allowed to characterize manufacturing processes, to catalyze the innovation process and to promote the technological transfer. Moreover this approach, based on the use of customized pre-design guide sheets, allows to put into action a virtuous cycle of sequential learning and helps to overcome the gap between practitioners and statisticians in effective application of Design of Experiments (DoE) .
