Mixture Design of Experiments

Course Description

This course is specifically designed to meet the analytical needs of those individuals working within FDA regulated industries. Course covers all aspects of mixture design including pre-DOE, simplex lattice, centroid, screening and custom mixture designs. The course requires 8 hours of instruction.

Attendees

This course 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.

Prerequisites

ESDA and DOE are suggested courses prior to MixDOE.

Course Objectives

  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.
