"Application of an OMARS design to a polymerization process"

Abstract:

Statisticians at W.L. Gore & Associates partner with engineers and scientists across the organization to ensure data driven decisions when it comes to quality and reliability in all aspects of the production process. In this seminar we will present how we have applied an OMARS design to optimize a chemical batch process spanning over three process steps. We will briefly explain the application, a polymerization process, followed by an introduction to the concept of OMARS designs as developed by José Núñez Ares & Peter Goos[1]. This new class of designs allowed us to combine screening and optimization phase of the product development cycle. In total, we studied 8 factors of the three-step manufacturing process. During the first part of the seminar, we invite you to accompany our journey of DoE planning and analysis. In the second part of the seminar, we will give the opportunity to do a hands-on analysis of the data yourself.
