This webinar upgrades robustness considerations previously discussed for characterization via factorial design to the optimization phase of process or product development. It lays out response surface methods (RSM) that identify regions within the design space that not only meet all response specifications, but also minimizes variation caused by wandering factor settings and extraneous noise factors. Attend this webinar to learn advanced RSM tools such as propagation of error (POE) to discover the robust high plateaus of performance.
