Healthcare Training 2019 - Fractional Factorial Experiments for Screening Studies

Overview
In this webinar attendees will learn the key concepts behind Design of Experiments (DOE) and the use of DOE for Process and Product Optimization.
Also it will highlight the fractional factorial studies which are useful in the screening phase of experimentation.
Why should you Attend
Experimentation is frequently performed using trial and error approaches which are extremely inefficient and rarely lead to optimal solutions. Furthermore, when it's desired to understand the effect of multiple variables on an outcome (response), "one-factor-AT-a-time" trials are often performed.
Not only is this approach inefficient, it inhibits the ability to understand and model how multiple variables interact to jointly affect a response.
Statistically based Design of Experiments provides a methodology for optimally developing process understanding via experimentation. This webinar focuses on the use of Fractional Factorial Experiments which are invaluable when a large number of factors must be investigated.
Design of Experiments has numerous applications, including:
Fast and Efficient Problem Solving (root cause determination)
Shortening R&D Efforts
Optimizing Product Designs
Optimizing Manufacturing Processes
Developing Product or Process Specifications
Improving Quality and/or Reliability
This webinar will review the key concepts behind Design of Experiments. A strategy for utilizing sequential experiments to most efficiently understand and model a process is presented.
The webinar will emphasis fractional factorial studies which are useful in the screening phase of experimentation.
Several important techniques in experimental design (such as replication, blocking, and randomization) are introduced.
A Case Study involving optimizing a manufacturing process with multiple responses is presented.
