Lecture 15 Today: Finish FFSP designs, 10.1-10.5 Next day: 10.6-10.9 Read 10.2-10.3!!! Robust Parameter Design Robust parameter design is an experimentation technique which aims to reduce system variation and also optimize the mean system response Idea is to use control factors to make the system robust to the influences of noise factors Example: Leaf Spring Experiment (p. 438) Experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of a heat treatment process on truck leaf springs where the target height of the springs is 8 inches Experiment considered 5 factors, each at 2 levels: B: High heat treatment C: Heating time D: Transfer time E: Hold down time Q: Quench oil temperature In regular production Q is not controllable, but can be in the experiment Example: Leaf Spring Experiment (p. 438) 25-1 fractional factorial design was performed: I=BCDE Experiment has 3 replicates Noise Factors Noise factors are factors that impact the system response, but in practice are not controllable Examples include environmental factors, differing user conditions, variation in process parameter settings, … Example: refrigerators are manufactured so that the interior temperature remains close to some target Section 10.3 discusses different types of noise factors…please read Variance Reduction Via Parameter Design Let x denote the control factor settings and z denote the noise factor settings Relationship between the system response and the factors: y = f(x,z) If noise factors impact the response, then variation in the levels of z will transmit this variance to the response, y If some noise and control factors interact, can potentially adjust levels of control factors to dampen impact of noise factor variation Variance Reduction Via Parameter Design Suppose there is one noise factor and two control factors What is variance of y in practice? What does this imply? Cross Array Strategy We will consider two types of design/analysis techniques for robust parameter
