Abstract

Design of experiments, DOE, is a rational scientific approach which allows an understanding of how the inputs interact thus affecting the process and allowing the refinement such that the process output can be optimised according to requirements. This review introduces the use of the design of experiments methodology to optimise processes and outlines the advantages and disadvantages of some of the design types available. This guide is to aid the reader when using their preferred software package in understanding the underlying principles of DOE, and investigating possible alternative designs for analysis of their data which may be more suited for their application. A worked example of a manufacturing process is presented. In this case study the mathematical processes which are used in a design of experiments process are presented to allow the reader to follow the analysis process. A summary of some of the available commercial software is presented, indicating the experimental designs available within the package.
