Abstract: | General augmentation techniques in experimental design, such as the foldover and the semifold, have been a common practice in industrial experimentation for years. Even though these techniques are extremely effective in maintaining balance and near orthogonality, they possess disadvantages, such as the inability to decouple specific terms and inefficiency. This article aims for a sequential experimentation approach capable of overcoming the drawbacks of the general methods while maintaining some of their benefits. We focus on the development of an algorithm for sequential augmentation of fractional factorial designs resolution III. Advantages, limitations, and potential benefits of the new method are provided. |
