Sequential Experimentation,
Screening Designs, Fold-Over
Designs
Don’t Risk all Experimental Resources
on a Single Comprehensive Experiment
•Usually many inert factors, few dominant ones
•Unexpected effects may be found early
•Experiment could be terminated early with
substantial cost savings
•Comprehensive evaluation of a few dominant
factors is usually more informative than
little information on many factors
Conduct a Screening Experiment
to Identify Dominant Factors
Augment the Screening
Experiment to Identify
Strong Two-Factor
Interactions
Conduct a RV Experiment
with the Dominant Factors
Comprehensive Experiment with
a Few Factors and Multiple Levels
or
Design to Quantitatively
Characterize the Response Surface
Figure 7.7 A simple strategy for a sequence of experiments.
Sequential Experimentation
Large experiments
Design so that key fractions can be run in
sequence
Key fractions : Resolution III, IV, or V
Analyze each sequence of data as it is
completed
Based on the results of the analysis
Continue experiment
Terminate

Plant must cease commercial
production during experimentation -- test runs

Screening Experiments
Highly effective for isolating vital few strong effects
should be used ONLY under the proper circumstances
Very few test runs
Ability to assess main effects only
Generally leads to a comprehensive
evaluation of a few dominant factors
Potential for bias
Plackett-Burman Screening
Designs
Any number of factors, each having 2 levels
Interactions nonexistent or negligible Relative
to main effects
Number of test runs is a multiple of 4
At least 6 more test runs than factors should
be used
Construction
Determine the number of factors (k) to be included
in the design
Determine the experiments size : at least k + 6
6df for error
Select the design generator from Table 7A2
Generate the rows of the design
Design generator is the first row
Move all levels in the previous row one position to the left;
move the first level of the previous row to the last position
Continue the previous step until n - 1 rows are filled
The last row has all levels equal to -1

Randomize
Randomly Assign Factors to Columns; Delete Unassigned
