Description:

This webinar offers learning on the Strategy of Experimentation.

The Strategy of Experimentation offers a clear path to accelerated launch of successful products and to process improvement. Being a data driven approach to R&D; the major advantages it offers include avoiding dead ends and subsequent disappointment, and prevention of waste of precious R&D resources. The basic principles are simple and can be easily understood without the knowledge of statistics.

Why is the Strategy of Experimentation Research important? Resources being what they are –too scarce to be squandered going down blind alleys and coming up empty handed at project end –organizations cannot afford to work by guessing or by relying on the so-called experts, whose opinions tend to differ, to guide research. They cannot, at the same time, rely on the gross inefficiencies of old-fashioned one-factor-at-a-time experimentation to guide decisions. Instead, R&D must proceed systematically and with a goal of using unbiased data to guide decisions, following an overall strategy guided by statistical thinking and the scientific method.

The Strategy of Experimentation Research addresses these issues. This webinar discusses the requirements essential to systematic experimentation and techniques for sequential experimentation essential to build knowledge leading rapidly to the successful completion of organizational goals.

The speaker will offer details of screening designs for determining the most influential among several factors, characterizing designs for the identification of interactions and optimizing designs, of which examples will be given. He will also touch upon mixture designs for formulations and other commonly employed designs.

This webinar will cover the following areas:

• Motivation for the Strategy of Experimentation
• The Hidden Laboratory
• Statistical Thinking
• The Iterative Nature of Experimentation
• Data Driven Decisions
• Simple Factorial Designs
• Characterizing Designs
• Optimizing Designs
• Mixture Design
