Title
Effective Use of Screening Experiments: Some Practical Experiences
Abstract
When faced with a problem to be solved by running designed experiments we should first think of what strategy should be used for the experimentation. One aspect of successful experimental strategy that seems to be overlooked is how to use screening experiments in practice. In a recent article (referenced below*) Ron Snee and Steve Bailey share their combined experiences of more than 90 years in using designed experiments in which screening experiments are an integral part of the strategy. In today’s talk, Steve will discuss the benefits of running screening experiments and why they work. Topics such as the Pareto principle applied to experimentation and the robustness of screening designs to assumptions are addressed. Case studies are provided, along with tips and traps. What emerges is a holistic approach to experimentation that results in practicing scientists and engineers getting the right data in the right amount at the right time.
