Outline
• Motivation
• Research Question
• Battery Cells Case Study
• New Arrangement: Post-Fractionated Strip-Block Designs
• Conclusions
3
Motivation
• Competitive environment requires:– Design of high-quality products and processes at
low cost
• Design of experiments (DOE) plays a critical role
4
Research Question
• How to reduce costs of experimentation? – Robust Design
• Products insensitive to different sources of variation
– Multistage Processes

AssemblyProcess
• Defective rate: 5%
• Cause of cells rejection: high open circuit voltage (OCV)
• Consequences of high OCV: self-discharging, leading to low performance or dead cells.
6
Process Characteristics
• Two shifts for production• One storage room• Storage cycle: at least five days• Six factors for investigation
– Assembly process: A, B, C, D– Storage process: E, F
7
Approach 1
• Completely randomized design
• 26 = 64 independent trials
• 64 changes in assembly configuration– Could not be run in one shift
• 64 changes in storage conditions– Data collection: 64 * 5 = 320 days
8
Approach 2

F} 22 full factorial design
24 full factorial design
16 trials
• Advantages: – only 16 changes in the assembly configuration– only 4 changes in the storage configuration

Scenario
• Space restrictions in storage room
• Only 8 sub-lots can be placed in the storage room simultaneously

14
Maximum Post-Fractionation Order
• Base strip-block design: 2k-p x 2q-r
• Maximum value for post-fractionation order to preserve the strip-block structure:
f = min(k-p, q-r) - 1.
Ex.: 24 x 22 base design
f = min(4, 2) – 1 = 2 – 1 = 1
15
Analysis of Post-Fractionated Strip-Block Designs
• Compute main effects and interactions
• Not all effects with same precision
• Group effects with same variance
• Separate analyses for each stratum
• Four different strata
