Abstract

Process optimization is increasingly important as competition deepens. As such, the optimization of process parameters allows the manufacturer to improve its competitive advantage. In that context, planning experiences to test the limits of the system is progressively more important. In that context, Design of Experiments is a group of techniques that allow a better understanding of every process, when correctly applied. During the last two centuries, several methods were developed to approach Design of Experiments. In this paper, the history and methods, focusing on the most important, are examined in detail. The last chapter describes the future paths of planned experiences, addressing its connection with digital simulation, making its use a lot more accessible. The algorithmic and mathematical evolution is also described, relating it to the software that can be used to execute planned experiences.
