Why Is It Always Better to Perform a Design of Experiments (DOE) Rather than Change One Factor at a Time?

Intuitively, when facing a complex problem, we tend to test different solutions as soon as they come to our mind. When we understand that one solution will not work, we will then look for the next potential solution in order to test it and so forth. This is what we will call the one-factor-at-a-time approach. Why is it better to perform a Design of Experiments (DOE) rather than change One Factor at a Time, then? And what are the multiple benefits of an experimental design?
