Mixture Design of Experiments

Course Description:
Mixture Design of Experiments is specifically designed to meet the analytical needs
of those individuals working within FDA regulated industries. Instruction covers all
aspects of mixture design including pre-DOE, simplex lattice, centroid, screening
and custom mixture designs. Presentation of the course material is designed for
8 hours of instruction.

Attendees:
Mixture Design of Experiments is required for all scientists, engineers and quality
professionals who actively work on all aspects of discovery, product and process
development where the goal is to characterize, optimize and improve product and
process performance.

 

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course the participants will be able to:

  1. Apply the principles of robust design to Mixture Experiments.
  2. Design mixture experiments appropriate for the information of interest.
  3. Use and apply the structures of simplex and optimal designs for product
    and process development and problem solving.
  4. Ensure the mixture design is efficient.
  5. Use regression techniques in order to analyze the results and make
    process/product improvements.
  6. Use JMP software to design and analyze experiments.

Prerequisites:  Engineering Statistics and Data Analysis and Design of Experiments
are recommended prerequisites for this course.
