Industrial Scientists can no longer afford to experiment in a trial-and-error manner, changing one factor at a time. A far more effective method is to apply a systematic approach to experimentation that considers all factors simultaneously.
This approach is called Design of Experiments (DoE) and many scientists use it as an efficient way to solve serious problems afflicting their projects.
DoE provides information about the interaction of factors and the way the total system works, something not obtainable through traditional testing methods. DoE also shows how interconnected factors respond over a wide range of values, without requiring the testing of all possible values directly. DoE is a fundamental aspect of Quality by Design.
This now four session course written and presented by Dr Paul Murray a Process Chemist with extensive experience of applying DoE across a wide range of chemical reactions from reaction screening and new route development through to reaction optimisation.
The Course will empower Scientists to implement DoE in their work to more efficiently improve their processes.

Download BrochureCourse Outline
- Understand the DoE process.
- Select process factors and suitable ranges.
- Understand the different types of experimental design and when to use them.
- Identify main effects, interactions and interpret DoE models in relation to chemical understanding.
- Understand where DoE will solve a problem and when to consider complementary techniques like reaction progress kinetics to probe more challenging processes.
Session 1
- Introduction to the principals of Design of Experiments with a comparison with traditional methods.
- Introduction to DoE language and the DoE process. How to identify potentially important factors and ranges.
Session 2
- Designs for 2 factors.
- Taylor’s expansion and an introduction to the maths.
- Designs for 3 and more factors.
- Work Shop: Selecting factors and Ranges
Session 3
- Fractional Factorial designs. Different design types from screening designs to optimisation and robustness designs.
Session 4
- How and when to use the different design types. Workshop: Calculating main effects and identifying interactions
Session 5

Testimonials
Hovione Delegate
The course was very helpful to understand the DoE approach.
Société Suisse des Explosifs Delegate
Thank you very much to Paul and Laura! I have learned a lot about the theory and application of DoE, well-equilibrated course. I’ll definitely recommend it!
