Improve response after only a few experiments using this unique design strategy
Sequential Simplex Optimization An Audio Course Produced by the American Chemical Society Learn how to improve experimental processes and methods and decrease project development time. Work more efficiently and effectively. Be able to provide optimized processes for statistical process control and learn how this can save you money. This ACS Audio Course will give you a sound understanding of the techniques and strategies necessary to enable you to do all this! This highly efficient experimental design strategy, called sequential simplex, does not involve detailed mathematical or statistical analysis of experimental results. Calculation and logic are simple and can be done by hand on a worksheet. A computer is not necessary! Sequential simplex optimization is an alternate evolutionary operation (EVOP) technique that is not based on traditional factorial designs. This technique can be used to optimize several factors—not just two or three—in a single study. And since most research and development projects require the optimization of system response, e.g., maximum product yield in a chemical reaction, this course will show you how to use the techniques that can improve your results. Special feature! This unique course includes an instructional computer diskette that assists with the laboratory exercises and problems. While you learn how to successfully calculate values, the computer program provides answers to exercises, showing you where your calculations are wrong and suggesting values to use in further calculations.
