Chapter 20 Response Surface Designs Overview
Response Surface Designs Overview
Response surface methods are used to examine the relationship between one or more
response variables and a set of quantitative experimental variables or factors. These
methods are often employed after you have identified a “vital few” controllable factors
and you want to find the factor settings that optimize the response. Designs of this type
are usually chosen when you suspect curvature in the response surface.
Response surface methods may be employed to
■ find factor settings (operating conditions) that produce the “best” response
■ find factor settings that satisfies operating or process specifications
■ identify new operating conditions that produce demonstrated improvement in
product quality over the quality achieved by current conditions
■ model a relationship between the quantitative factors and the response
Many response surface applications are sequential in nature in that they require more
than one stage of experimentation and analysis. The steps shown below are typical of a
response surface experiment. Depending on your experime
