Mixture
Design for Optimal Formulations* (Earn
2.4 CEU's)
The Recipe for Success
If you do product formulation, then standard factorial designs
just don't work. You need the mixture designs taught in Mixture
Design for Optimal Formulations to experiment most effectively.
Develop statistical models of product performance.
Then use response surface methods to identify the "sweet spot" where
all specifications can be achieved.
Ingredients for Efficient Experimentation
During the Mixture Design for Optimal Formulations workshop you
will:
- Set up simplex designs
- Augment and evaluate design quality
- Select appropriate mixture models
- Generate contour plots in triangular space
- Design for constrained mixture variables
- Optimize product formulas
- Screen mixture components
The optional texts, "Experiments
with Mixtures" by
Cornell and "Experimental Design for Formulation" by Smith, provide valuable reference material.
"Very
knowledgeable and helpful instructors."

Produce Contour Maps in Mixture Space
Design-Expert® software helps you practice designing
and analyzing mixture experiments throughout the workshop. The software
provides the power
for generation of d-optimal designs, as well as sophisticated graphical outputs
such as trace plots. You will learn how these methods work and what to look
for.
*Prior Knowledge of DOE Recommended
Knowledge of elementary statistics and analysis of variance is recommended. Assess your abilities by taking the free Self-Assessment Questionnaire available
at www.statease.net. If you aren't ready for the Mixture Design for Optimal Formulations workshop, take the online PreDOE course first for only $95.00 (takes 3-6 hours to complete, you can work at your own pace).
Before attending class, please go through the One-Factor Tutorial, and then look at the One-Factor Self-Study presentation. You will find links to both below.
