Do’s & Don’ts for Screening Process Factors


presented by Mark Anderson

If done properly, design of experiments (DOE) provides huge process improvements via small screening studies. Unfortunately, many experimenters deploy designs such as Plackett-Burmans (PBs) that cannot resolve main effects from potential interactions—these being confounded (aliased). This webinar will evaluate the resolution of PBs and more suitable designs for screening out the trivial many from the vital few main effects. Attendees, particularly those new to DOE, will be greatly enlightened on the fine line of reliable screening at a minimum number of experimental runs.
