Design and Analysis of Experiments by Dr. Doug Montgomery

5 half-day Private webinar to be presented Monday April 29^th , Wednesday May 1^st , Friday May 10^th , Monday May 13^th , Wednesday May 15^th

Introduction:

1. What are designed experiments?
2. Why do experiments in the engineering world need to be “designed”?
3. Screening experiments versus optimization experiments
4. Strategy of experimentation
5. Factors and responses
6. Some simple examples and review of statistics fundamentals
7. Main effects and interactions
8. A process for successfully designing and conducting experiments

Factorial Experiments

• A simple 2-factor factorial (example)
• The general factorial experiment
• The 2² factorial
• Overview of the analysis procedure for a factorial
• The 2³ factorial
• Replication of a factorial (why, how much)
• More than three factors, unreplicated 2^k factorials
• Center points in 2^k factorial designs
• Follow-up and confirmation experiments

Fractional Factorial Experiments

• The one-half fraction of the 2^k design
• Smaller fractions
• Follow-up experiments
• Special types of fractional factorials
• Methods for constructing custom fractional designs

Optimization

• Is there life after factor screening?
• Are we in the right operating region (and if not, now what)?
• Augmenting a 2^k design to fit a second-order model
• Optimization of a second-order model
• Designs for fitting response surfaces

Other Potential Topics

• Designs with random effects
• Nested designs
