12-1. What is Experimental Design?
Objectives of Experimental Design
– Determine which variables (x’s) are most
influential on the response, y
– Determine where to set the influential x’s so
that y is near the nominal requirement
– Determine where to set the influential x’s so
that variability is small
– Determine where to set the influential x’s so
that the effects of the uncontrollable
variables z are minimized

12-1. What is Experimental Design?
Results of Experimental Design (used early in
process development):
1. Improved yield
2. Reduced variability and closer conformance
to nominal
3. Reduced development time
4. Reduced overall costs

12-1. What is Experimental Design?
Example 10-1 Characterizing a Process
• SPC has been applied to a soldering process.
Through u-charts and Pareto analysis, statistical
control has been established and the number of
defective solder joints has been reduced to 1%.
The average board contains over 2000 solder
joints, 1% may still be too large.
• Desired to reduce the defects level more.

12-1. What is Experimental Design?
Example 10-1 Characterizing a Process
• Note: since the process is in statistical control,
not obvious what machine adjustments will be
necessary. There are several variables that may
affect the occurrence of defects:
–
•
Solder Temp, Preheat temp, Conveyor speed, Flux
type, Flux specific gravity, Conveyor angle.
A designed experiment involving these factors
could help determine which factors could help
significantly reduce defects. (Screening
experiment)

12-3. Factorial Experiments
•
•
When there are several factors of interest
in an experiment, a factorial design
should be used.
A complete trial or replicate of the
experiment for all possible combinations
of the levels of the factors are
investigated.

•
Main effect is the change in response produced
by a change in the level of a primary factor.
An interaction is present among factors if a
change in the levels of one factor influences the
effect of another factor.
Consider an experiment with two factors A and
B

•
The simplest design involves two factors A and B and n
replicates.
Interested in the main effect of A, the main effect of B,
and the interaction between A and B.
Effects are calculated by:
Average Response at high level - Average
Response at the low level.
A large effect would indicate a significant factor (or
interaction). (How large is large?)
Contrasts can be calculated and used to estimate the
effects and then sums of squares.

• Residual plots are used to access the adequacy
of the model once again.
• Residuals are calculated using the fitted
regression model.
• The residual plots versus the factor levels,
interactions, predicted values, and a normal

adequacy of the model and satisfaction of

Other Methods for Judging the Significance of

Effect estimate  2[s.e.(effect)]
• This interval is an approximate 95% confidence
interval on the estimated effect.
• Interpretation is simple: If zero is contained
within the 95% confidence interval, then that
effect is essentially zero and the corresponding
factor is not significant at the  = 0.05 level.

12-4.3 A Single Replicate of the 2k Design
• As the number of factors in a factorial
experiment increase, the number of effects that
can be estimated also increases.
• In most situations, the sparsity of effects
principle applies.
• For a large number of factors, say k > 5, it is
common practice to run only a single replicate
of the 2k design and pool or combine the
higher-order interactions as estimate of error.

• So far, the assumption of linearity in the factor
effects has been made.
• 2k works well when the linearity assumption
holds only approximately.

• The model cannot be fitted using a 22 design; in
order to fit a quadratic model, all factors must
be run at at least three levels.

•
Center points can be added to the standard 2k design
•
Center points can provide not only some protection
against curvature, if the center points are replicated,
then an independent estimate of experimental error can
be obtained.
•
Center points consist of nc replicates run at the xi = 0 (i =
1, 2, …, k).
•
Addition of center points does not have an impact on
the usual effects estimates in a 2k design.
•
Assume the k factors are quantitative in order to have a
“center” or middle level of the factor.

12-5. Fractional Replication of the
2k Design
•
•
As the number of factors in a 2k increase, the
number of runs required increases rapidly.
If we can assume that some higher-order
interactions are negligible, then a fractional
factorial design can be used to gain
information on main effects and low-order
interactions.

The identity element I is also plus for the four runs,
therefore I = ABC.
I = ABC is the defining relation for the design.
The defining relation can be used to find aliases of the
main effects and interactions.
To find the aliases of a main effect or interaction,
multiply the entire defining relation by that term. (Note:
any column multiplied by itself always results in the
identity column, i.e. A•A = I)

With defining relation, I = ABC, some of the aliases are

–
The alias of main effect A is
A•I = A •ABC = BC
That is, A is aliased with (identical to) the BC interaction.
The alias of the main effect B is
B •I = B •ABC = AC
That is, B is aliased with the AC interaction
The alias of the AB interaction is
AB •I = AB •ABC = C
That is, the AB interaction is aliased with the main effect C.

• Normal Probability Plots and Residuals
–

–
Normal probability plot can be useful in assessing the
significance of effects (especially when there are
many effects to be estimated)
Residuals can be obtained by the regression model
shown previously.
Residuals should be plotted against predicted values,
against levels of the factors, and on normal
probability paper for two reasons:
1.
2.
To assess the validity of the underlying model assumptions
Gain additional insight into the experimental situation.

Projection of the 2k-1 Design
– If one or more factors from a one-half
fraction of a 2k can be dropped, the design
will project into a full factorial design.
– Projection is highly useful in screening
experiments.

Design resolution is useful in categorizing designs.
The resolution of a design usually denoted by Roman
numerals.
Of particular importance are designs of Resolution III,
IV, and V.
The resolution of a design indicates the alias
relationship among the factors.

Resolution III designs. No main effects are aliased with
one another. Main effects are aliased with two factor
interactions.
Resolution IV designs. No main effect is aliased with any
other main effect or two-factor interaction. Two-factor
interactions are aliased with each other.
Resolution V designs. No main effects are aliased with
any other main effect or two-factor interactions. Twofactor interactions are not aliased with one another. Twofactor interactions are aliased with three-factor
interactions.

For example, the notation 2 3III1indicates that
the design is a one-half fraction of a 23 with
resolution III. From this, we know that main
effects are not aliased with one another, but
are aliased with two factor interactions.

12-5.2 Smaller Fractions: The 2k-p Fractional Factorial Design
•
While the half fraction is useful, it may be more
economical to use even smaller fractions of the 2k.
•
Consider a design with k = 11 factors.
–
–
•
A full 2k would require 2,048 runs
A half fraction, 2k-1 would require 1,024 runs: still an
unreasonable number.
How about a design for all 11 factors that would only
require 32 runs? Some assumptions would have to be
made, but this is a possible design.
–
11 factors in 32 runs would be a 1/6 fraction of the 211 or a 2116

•
In this example there are two design generators:
–
–
•
•
•
•
E = ABC  I = ABCE
F = BCD  I = BCDF
To find the complete defining relation, multiply all pairs of
the design generators (in this case there are only two so we
would multiply (ABCE)(BCDF) = ADEF)
Therefore, the complete defining relation from which all
aliases can be found for main effects and interactions is
I = ABCE = BCDF = ADEF
By definition, the length of the smallest “word” in the
defining relation is also the resolution of the design. In this
case, the resolution is IV.

Design generators should not be chosen arbitrarily.
Choosing the incorrect design generator can result in

Select the design generators that will result in the
highest possible design resolution.
