    Overview

    Analytical methods and production processes are complex, with many factors affecting the outcome.

    To be competitive, companies must minimise resources used on development and maximise process performance. Experimental design enables complex situations to be understood and provides a well-structured and cost-effective method for determining the relationships between factors affecting the process under study.

    Programme Content and Key Areas

    The course will cover:

    • Doing the right experiment – setting objectives
    • Simple experiments for single effects
    • Estimating sample size for simple designs
    • Strategies for reducing nuisance effects – randomisation, paired experiments and blocked designs
    • Studying multiple effects – factorial designs
    • Efficient screening experiments using fractional factorial designs
    • Designs for optimisation – basic response surface models
    • Analysing and interpreting designed experiments

    Learning Outcomes

    This course will help participants:
    • Develop a systematic approach to experiments for scientific research, method development and product improvement
    • Recognise and understand the advantages of the main types of experiment design
    • Choose the most efficient experiment for each problem
    • Understand how to interpret the results
    • Apply the principles of experimental design during laptop-based workshops
