Learning Objectives & Outcomes
Response Surface Methodology and its sequential nature for optimizing a process
First order and second order response surface models and how to find the direction of steepest ascent (or descent) to maximize (or minimize) the response
How to deal with several responses simultaneously (Multiple Response Optimization)
Central Composite Designs (CCD) and Box-Behnken Designs as two of the major Response Surface Designs and how two generate them using Minitab
Design and Analysis of Mixture Designs for cases where the sum of the factor levels equals a constant, i.e. 100% or the totality of the components
Introductory understanding of designs for computer models
