DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTSby
R. C. Baker
How to gain 20 years of experience in one short week!
![Page 2: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

Role of DOE in Process Improvement
• DOE is a formal mathematical method for systematically planning and conducting scientific studies that change experimental variables together in order to determine their effect of a given response.
• DOE makes controlled changes to input variables in order to gain maximum amounts of information on cause and effect relationships with a minimum sample size.
![Page 3: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Role of DOE in Process Improvement
• DOE is more efficient that a standard approach of changing “one variable at a time” in order to observe the variable’s impact on a given response.
• DOE generates information on the effect various factors have on a response variable and in some cases may be able to determine optimal settings for those factors.
![Page 4: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4
Role of DOE in Process Improvement
• DOE encourages “brainstorming” activities associated with discussing key factors that may affect a given response and allows the experimenter to identify the “key” factors for future studies.
• DOE is readily supported by numerous statistical software packages available on the market.
![Page 5: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
BASIC STEPS IN DOE
• Four elements associated with DOE:
• 1. The design of the experiment,
• 2. The collection of the data,
• 3. The statistical analysis of the data, and
• 4. The conclusions reached and recommendations made as a result of the experiment.
![Page 6: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
TERMINOLOGY
• Replication – repetition of a basic experiment without changing any factor settings, allows the experimenter to estimate the experimental error (noise) in the system used to determine whether observed differences in the data are “real” or “just noise”, allows the experimenter to obtain more statistical power (ability to identify small effects)
![Page 7: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
TERMINOLOGY
• .Randomization – a statistical tool used to minimize potential uncontrollable biases in the experiment by randomly assigning material, people, order that experimental trials are conducted, or any other factor not under the control of the experimenter. Results in “averaging out” the effects of the extraneous factors that may be present in order to minimize the risk of these factors affecting the experimental results.
![Page 8: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
TERMINOLOGY
• Blocking – technique used to increase the precision of an experiment by breaking the experiment into homogeneous segments (blocks) in order to control any potential block to block variability (multiple lots of raw material, several shifts, several machines, several inspectors). Any effects on the experimental results as a result of the blocking factor will be identified and minimized.
![Page 9: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
TERMINOLOGY
• Confounding - A concept that basically means that multiple effects are tied together into one parent effect and cannot be separated. For example,
• 1. Two people flipping two different coins would result in the effect of the person and the effect of the coin to be confounded
• 2. As experiments get large, higher order interactions (discussed later) are confounded with lower order interactions or main effect.
![Page 10: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
TERMINOLOGY
• Factors – experimental factors or independent variables (continuous or discrete) an investigator manipulates to capture any changes in the output of the process. Other factors of concern are those that are uncontrollable and those which are controllable but held constant during the experimental runs.
![Page 11: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
TERMINOLOGY
• Responses – dependent variable measured to describe the output of the process.
• Treatment Combinations (run) – experimental trial where all factors are set at a specified level.
![Page 12: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
TERMINOLOGY
• Fixed Effects Model - If the treatment levels are specifically chosen by the experimenter, then conclusions reached will only apply to those levels.
• Random Effects Model – If the treatment levels are randomly chosen from a population of many possible treatment levels, then conclusions reached can be extended to all treatment levels in the population.
![Page 13: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
PLANNING A DOE
• Everyone involved in the experiment should have a clear idea in advance of exactly what is to be studied, the objectives of the experiment, the questions one hopes to answer and the results anticipated
![Page 14: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
PLANNING A DOE
• Select a response/dependent variable (variables) that will provide information about the problem under study and the proposed measurement method for this response variable, including an understanding of the measurement system variability
![Page 15: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
PLANNING A DOE
• Select the independent variables/factors (quantitative or qualitative) to be investigated in the experiment, the number of levels for each factor, and the levels of each factor chosen either specifically (fixed effects model) or randomly (random effects model).
![Page 16: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
PLANNING A DOE• Choose an appropriate experimental design
(relatively simple design and analysis methods are almost always best) that will allow your experimental questions to be answered once the data is collected and analyzed, keeping in mind tradeoffs between statistical power and economic efficiency. At this point in time it is generally useful to simulate the study by generating and analyzing artificial data to insure that experimental questions can be answered as a result of conducting your experiment
![Page 17: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
PLANNING A DOE
• Perform the experiment (collect data) paying particular attention such things as randomization and measurement system accuracy, while maintaining as uniform an experimental environment as possible. How the data are to be collected is a critical stage in DOE
![Page 18: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
PLANNING A DOE
• Analyze the data using the appropriate statistical model insuring that attention is paid to checking the model accuracy by validating underlying assumptions associated with the model. Be liberal in the utilization of all tools, including graphical techniques, available in the statistical software package to insure that a maximum amount of information is generated
![Page 19: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
PLANNING A DOE
• Based on the results of the analysis, draw conclusions/inferences about the results, interpret the physical meaning of these results, determine the practical significance of the findings, and make recommendations for a course of action including further experiments
![Page 20: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

21
CRITICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH SIMPLE COMPARATIVE EXPERIMENTS
• How Large a Sample Should We Take?
• Why Does the Sample Size Matter Anyway?
• What Kind of Protection Do We Have Associated with Rejecting “Good” Stuff?
• What Kind of Protection Do We Have Associated with Accepting “Bad” Stuff?
![Page 22: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22

• Ho: = 12
• Ha: <> 12
• level of significance = = .05
• sample size = 9
• SPEC FOR THE MEAN: 12 + .1
![Page 23: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• P-Value = 0.0805162
• CONCLUSION: Since P-Value > .05, you fail to reject hypothesis and ship product.

FACTORIAL (2k) DESIGNS
• Experiments involving several factors ( k = # of factors) where it is necessary to study the joint effect of these factors on a specific response.
• Each of the factors are set at two levels (a “low” level and a “high” level) which may be qualitative (machine A/machine B, fan on/fan off) or quantitative (temperature 800/temperature 900, line speed 4000 per hour/line speed 5000 per hour).
![Page 40: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
FACTORIAL (2k) DESIGNS
• Factors are assumed to be fixed (fixed effects model)
• Designs are completely randomized (experimental trials are run in a random order, etc.)
• The usual normality assumptions are satisfied.
![Page 41: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
FACTORIAL (2k) DESIGNS
• Particularly useful in the early stages of experimental work when you are likely to have many factors being investigated and you want to minimize the number of treatment combinations (sample size) but, at the same time, study all k factors in a complete factorial arrangement (the experiment collects data at all possible combinations of factor levels).
![Page 42: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

FACTORIAL (2k) DESIGNS (k = 2): GRAPHICAL OUTPUT
• Factor B has an effect on the response variable, but only if factor A is set at the “High” level. This is called interaction and it basically means that the effect one factor has on a response is dependent on the level you set other factors at. Interactions can be major problems in a DOE if you fail to account for the interaction when designing your experiment.

EXAMPLE:CONCLUSIONS
• In statistical language, one would conclude that factor A (medium) is not statistically significant at a 5% level of significance since the p-value is greater than 5% (0.05), but factor B (time) is statistically significant at a 5 % level of significance since this p-value is less than 5%.

EXAMPLE:CONCLUSIONS
• In layman terms, this means that we have no evidence that would allow us to conclude that the medium used has an effect on the growth rate, although it may well have an effect (our conclusion was incorrect).

EXAMPLE:CONCLUSIONS
• Additionally, we have evidence that would allow us to conclude that time does have an effect on the growth rate, although it may well not have an effect (our conclusion was incorrect).

EXAMPLE:CONCLUSIONS
• In general we control the likelihood of reaching these incorrect conclusions by the selection of the level of significance for the test and the amount of data collected (sample size).

2k DESIGNS (k > 2)
• As the number of factors increase, the number of runs needed to complete a complete factorial experiment will increase dramatically. The following 2k design layout depict the number of runs needed for values of k from 2 to 5. For example, when k = 5, it will take 25 = 32 experimental runs for the complete factorial experiment.

Interactions for 2k Designs (k = 3)
• Interactions between various factors can be estimated for different designs above by multiplying the appropriate columns together and then subtracting the average response for the lows from the average response for the highs.

2k DESIGNS (k > 2)
• Once the effect for all factors and interactions are determined, you are able to develop a prediction model to estimate the response for specific values of the factors. In general, we will do this with statistical software, but for these designs, you can do it by hand calculations if you wish.

Two Level Screening Designs • Suppose that your brainstorming session
resulted in 7 factors that various people think “might” have an effect on a response. A full factorial design would require 27 = 128 experimental runs without replication. The purpose of screening designs is to reduce (identify) the number of factors down to the “major” role players with a minimal number of experimental runs. One way to do this is to use the 23 full factorial design and use interaction columns for factors.
![Page 66: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Problems that Interactions Cause!
• Interactions – If interactions exist and you fail to account for this, you may reach erroneous conclusions. Suppose that you plan an experiment with four runs and three factors resulting in the following data:
Run Factor A Factor B Results1 +1 +1 102 +1 -1 53 -1 +1 54 -1 -1 10
![Page 68: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
Problems that Interactions Cause!• Factor A Effect = 0
• Factor B Effect = 0
• In this example, if you were assuming that “smaller is better” then it appears to make no difference where you set factors A and B. If you were to set factor A at the low value and factor B at the low value, your response variable would be larger than desired. In this case there is a factor A interaction with factor B.

Resolution of a Design • Resolution III Designs – No main effects are
aliased with any other main effect BUT some (or all) main effects are aliased with two way interactions
• Resolution IV Designs – No main effects are aliased with any other main effect OR two factor interaction, BUT two factor interactions may be aliased with other two factor interactions
• Resolution V Designs – No main effect OR two factor interaction is aliased with any other main effect or two factor interaction, BUT two factor interactions are aliased with three factor interactions.
![Page 71: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
Common Screening Designs
• Fractional Factorial Designs – the total number of experimental runs must be a power of 2 (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, …). If you believe first order interactions are small compared to main effects, then you could choose a resolution III design. Just remember that if you have major interactions, it can mess up your screening experiment.
![Page 72: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
72
Common Screening Designs
• Plackett-Burman Designs – Two level, resolution III designs used to study up to n-1 factors in n experimental runs, where n is a multiple of 4 ( # of runs will be 4, 8, 12, 16, …). Since n may be quite large, you can study a large number of factors with moderately small sample sizes. (n = 100 means you can study 99 factors with 100 runs)
![Page 73: Planning of the experiments in research](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546533b4af7959045f8b4d31/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
73
Other Design Issues
• May want to collect data at center points to estimate non-linear responses
• More than two levels of a factor – no problem (multi-level factorial)
• What do you do if you want to build a non-linear model to “optimize” the response. (hit a target, maximize, or minimize) – called response surface modeling
