    Snee & Marquardt (1976): Screening Designs for Mixture Experiments

    Snee and Marquardt’s 1976 experiment introduced an efficient screening design for mixture experiments, reducing complexity by identifying active components and simplifying optimisation.

  • Etch Rate Experiment (Myers & Montgomery, 2002)

    Etch Rate Experiment (Myers & Montgomery, 2002)

    This case study explores the Myers and Montgomery (2002) etch rate experiment using response surface methodology (RSM) to optimise plasma etching in semiconductor manufacturing. A central composite design is used to model the effect of RF power and chamber pressure on etch rate.

  • Cornell’s famous fish patty experiment

    Cornell’s famous fish patty experiment refers to an experiment carried out by John A. Cornell, a leading figure in the development of mixture designs, a branch of Design of Experiments (DOE). The experiment has become well-known as an illustration of mixture designs in food product development. Background of the Experiment John A. Cornell used this fish patty experiment…

  • What is a Taguchi experiment?

    A Taguchi experiment is a method within the Design of Experiments (DOE) framework, developed by the Japanese engineer and statistician Genichi Taguchi. It is a structured, data-driven approach aimed at improving the quality of manufactured goods, optimising processes, and making products robust against variability. The Taguchi method is distinctive in its use of orthogonal arrays, its focus on…
