Goals of Today’s Session

• Understand why Design of Experiments is preferable.

• Learn how to perform basic experiments to optimize results and reduce variation.

Approaches to Experimentation

• Build-test-fix (What experimentation?)

• One-factor-at-a-time (OFAT)

• Designed experiments (DOE)

Build-Test=Fix• The tinkerer’s approach• Impossible to know if true

optimum achieved– Quit when it works!

• Consistently slow– Requires intuition, luck, rework– Continual fire-fighting

One Factor at a Time (OFAT)

• Approach:– Run all factors at one condition– Repeat, changing condition of one factor– Continuing to hold that factor at that

condition, rerun with another factor at its second condition

– repeat until all factors at their optimum conditions

• Slow and requires many tests• Can miss interactions!

“One Factor at a Time” is Like

What we conclude may be determined by where we are looking!

The Blind Man and the Elephant

Design of Experiments• A statistics-based approach to

designed experiments.

• A methodology to achieve a predictive knowledge of a complex, multi-variable process with the fewest trials possible.

• An optimization of the experimental process itself.

Key Concepts• DOE is about better understanding of our processes

Three Key Principles• Replication [DOE’s version of Sample Size]

– Replication of an experiment– Allows an estimate of experimental error– Allows for a more precise estimate of the sample

mean value• Randomization [Run experiments in random order]

– Cornerstone of all statistical methods– “Average out” effects of extraneous factors– Reduce bias and systematic errors

• Blocking [What can influence my experiment?]– Increases precision of experiment– “Factor out” variables not studied

Steps in a Designed Experiments Study

1. Brainstorm the problem / causes2. Design the Experiment3. Perform the experiment4. Analyze the data5. Validate your results

FACTORIAL EXPERIMENTIMPROVEMENT OF THE MEAN

Determining Input Factors to Optimize Output

Case Study• You have been assigned to look

into a problem with your company’s lamination process. Customers have been complaining about separation in your wood laminate, and you are leading a team to determine how to reduce the separation.

Step 1. Brainstorm• You met with your team, and

through your investigation, you determine that the best approach would be to minimize the amount of CURL

Laminate

Step 1. Brainstorm• After brainstorming and list

reduction, your team decided to look at 3 factors that they felt influenced the amount of curl:A Top Roll Tension, currently set at 22B Bottom Roll Tension, currently set at 22C Rewind Tension, currently set at 9

Step 2. Design the Experiment

The team decides to study 2 levels for each of the factors, and determine the effect on the response variable, curl:

Factor Low (-) Setting

High (+) Setting

Top Roll Tension 16 28

Bottom Roll Tension 16 28

Rewind tension 6 12

Note: Team will make sure that their selected values are FEASIBLE.

• This experiment will have 2 levels (high and low settings) and 3 factors (top roll tension, bottom roll tension, and rewind tension)

• Number of Experiments = 23 = 8

Run Top Roll Tension

Note: If another variable is added, there would be 24=16 runsThe next design generation would be “- - - - - - - -, + + + + + + +”

Perform the runs in random order to ensure statistical validity

Step 4. Analyze the Data

• We are going to calculate the MAIN EFFECTS for the 3 factors.

• We are also going to calculate the INTERACTION EFFECTS between each of the 2 factor combinations and the three factor combination.

• Let’s start with the main effects…

Step 4. Analyze the Data Visualization of Main Effects

Top Roll Tension

Bottom Roll Tension

Rewind Tension

Note: lowest curl achieved when Top Roll Tension HIGH and Bottom Roll and Rewind Tensions set LOW

Step 4 Analyze the DataMain Effect Calculations

• Average the “High” Settings and subtract the average of the “Low” Settings:

77.0 81.5 91.5 91.5 87.5 91.0 98.5 102.0Main Effect of Top Roll Tension= 9.38

Simply multiply the signs of the columns, i.e. “+ times + equals +” “- times - equals +” “+ times - equals -” and “- times + equals -”

Step 4 Analyze the DataInteraction Effect Calculations

• Average the “High” Settings and subtract the average of the “Low” Settings:

Step 4. Analyze the DataTest of Significance

• We can test for the significance of the effects using the t-distribution and confidence intervals.

• The first step is to calculate the POOLED STANDARD DEVIATION for all of the observations….

Step 4 Analyze the DataPooled Standard

We are studying 7 factors/ interactions (A, B, C, AB, AC, BC, ABC) in 8 runs

We did 2 replications of each run.2 2 2

Avg Variance=3.8113Std Dev = 1.952

Simplified Calculation:

Step 4. Analyze the Datat Statistic for Significance

• Key Information for calculation:=risk (Confidence = 1- ) [5%, 95%]p=number of “+” per effect column [4]r=number of replicates [2]Sp=Pooled Standard Deviation [1.952]

f=degree of fractionalization (in our case 0, since we are doing a full factorial)

k=number of factors [3]Degrees of Freedom=(r-1)2k-f [8]

The t statistic for 95% confidence (5% risk), 2 tailed test, 8 degrees of freedom is 2.306

The Error is calculated as:

The confidence interval for each of the effects is:

– Effect +/- Error

Step 5. Validation of Model

• Run the process with the new settings for a trial period to collect data on the curl response.

• Compare the new data to the historical data to confirm improvement.

• A simple Test of Hypothesis of before and after data with a t test can be used.

• We are trying to prove that the curl with the new process settings is significantly less than the curl with the old process settings at a 95% level of significance. Our historical standard deviation has been 3.5.

We can conclude with more than 95% confidence that the new parameter settings have significantly reduced the amount of curl in our process.

FACTORIAL EXPERIMENTREDUCTION OF VARIATION

Determining Input Factors to Reduce Variation

Variation Reduction• Standard deviations are not normally

distributed, and therefore cannot be used directly as a response variable.

• Options include:– Use the natural or base 10 log to obtain

normality– Use –log10(s) for normality– Use the F Statistic on the average

variances for the high and low settings

Note, the AC (Top Roll-Rewind Tension) is the only factor or interaction that exceeds the F Critical Value of 9.60.

Conclusion• To minimize variation, we find that variation is

minimized when Top Roll Tension and Rewind Tension are set to the same levels (i.e. High-High or Low-Low).

• Our optimal settings to minimize curl were Top Roll High, Bottom Roll Low, and Rewind Low. Top Roll and Rewind influenced the curl in OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS!

How can we decide?

Case StudiesInstructions:Work in teams to read the case study and then develop an experimental design. You should include:

• What factors to study• How many and what levels to study• How many replicates to take• How many runs?• Design your experiment.

Case Study 1• You have been working late recently, and

subsisting on microwave popcorn. As a result, you have decided to find the formula for the best popcorn. You are down to two brands, A and B. You also find that the time varies between 4 and 6 minutes and power between 75% and 100%.

• You judge the quality of the popcorn by taste and the number of unpopped kernels.

Case 1 Design• What factors to study• How many and what levels to study• How many replicates to take• How many runs?• Design your experiment

Case Study 2• Your company has a high-pressure chemical reactor which

filters impurities from your product. You have been asked to determine the proper settings to maximize the filtration rate. After a brainstorming session, your team decides that temperature, pressure, chemical concentration % and stir rate all influence the filtration rate (gallons per hour).

• Looking over the historical records, you see temperature has varied from 24oC to 35oC. Pressure can range from 10 PSIG to 15 PSIG, and chemical concentration from 2% to 4%. The lowest stir rate has been 15 RPM and the highest 30 RPM.

• Design an experiment to determine what the optimal levels would be to maximize the filtration rate.

Case Study 3• A manufacturer of ice crease has hired you to assist them

with achieving their target fill rate of 2.50 pounds. After discussing with them the relevant factors, it is concluded that there are two main variables impacting the final weight, fill temperature and the overfill %. Overfill is the percentage of air that is incorporated into the ice crease. The fill temperature is sensitive, and they have machines that vary from 20oF to 25oF. Overfill percentage is also tightly controlled. Studies have shown that overfill percentages greater than 120% are perceived as “lower quality” by customers and percentages less than 90% cause the ice crease to be difficult to scoop.

Points to Remember1. Get a clear understanding of the problem you

intend to solve.2. Conduct an exhaustive and detailed

brainstorming session.3. Teamwork – involve people involved in all

aspects of the process being studied.4. Randomize the experiment trial order5. Replicate to understand and estimate

variation.6. Perform confirmatory runs and experiments to

test your model’s validity.

Your Assignment• Find a problem and run a Designed

Experiment using the methods we learned today within 1-2 weeks of completing this session.

• No problem – Optimize microwave popcorn or chocolate chip cookies!
