DX8-04E-MultifactorRSM-P3.docxx Rev. 5/11/10 Multifactor RSM Tutorial (Part 3 – Advanced Topics) Adding Propagation of Error (POE) to the Optimization Details about the variation in your input factors can be fed into Design-Expert® software. Then you can generate propagation of error (POE) plots showing how that error is transmitted to the response. Look for conditions that minimize transmitted variation, thus creating a process that’s robust to factor settings. This tutorial shows how to generate POE from an experiment designed by response surface methods (RSM). If you still have the RSM data active in Design-Expert software from Part 2 in this series of tutorials, continue on. If you exited the program, re-start it and use File, Open Design to open your data file (tut-RSM-opt.dxp). Otherwise, go back and set it up as instructed in Multifactor RSM Tutorials Parts 1 and 2. Start by clicking the Design node on the left side of the screen to get back to the design layout. Then select View, Column Info Sheet. Enter the following information into the Std. Dev. column: time: 0.5, temperature: 1.0, catalyst: 0.05, as shown below. Column Info Sheet withf actor standard deviationsfilled i n Notice the software already entered the standard deviation for the analyzed response, Conversion (4.1…). Because you haven’t changed any other data, Design- Expert remembers your previous analysis choices – you can simply click through
