DOE

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog!! For todays blog, I would be covering a case study using Design of Experiment (DOE) and I would also share about my experience during my DOE practical. Case study What could be simpler than making microwave popcorn? Unfortunately, as everyone who has ever made popcorn knows, it’s nearly impossible to get every kernel of corn to pop. Often a considerable number of inedible “bullets” (un-popped kernels) remain at the bottom of the bag. What causes this loss of popcorn yield? In this case study, three factors were identified: Diameter of bowls to contain the corn, 10 cm (low) and 15 cm (high) Microwaving time, 4 minutes (low) and 6 minutes (high) Power setting of microwave, 75% (low) and 100% (high) 8 runs were performed with 100 grams of corn used in every experiments and the measured variable is the amount of “bullets” formed in grams and data collected are shown below: Factor A= diameter Factor B= microwaving time Factor C= power Run order A...
