How traditional approaches compare to DoE

As opposed to Design of Experiments, there is, unfortunately, a popular way of experimenting which is called One-Factor-At-a- Time (OFAT). OFAT involves changing only one of the experimental factors per test, leaving the other factors unchanged.

Strategic data acquisition: unveil the power of small quality data

Big data is everywhere in today’s world, characterized by the famous three Vs: volume, velocity and variety. While volume and velocity speak for themselves, let's focus on variety. Big data comes in many forms, such as sensor data, images, text, etc. Despite its immense potential for knowledge discovery, the inherent heterogeneity often causes analysis to fail.

Exploring an industrial recipe for a food product

Consumers' trend of reducing the number of calories ingested per day, prompts a known food industry to decide to lower the fat content in our of their main products. In order to achieve this, the recipe of the product needs to be modified. An additional difficulty in the process is the fact that the different ingredients of the product come in batches, and each batch is slightly different from each other in terms of viscosity, particle size and other characteristics. The product quality should be robust against variability in the batches of raw material.
