Abstract:
Designed experiments are a key component in many companies' improvement strategies. Because completely randomized experiments are not always reasonable from a cost or physical perspective, split-plot experiments are prevalent. The recommended analysis accounts for the different sources of variation affecting whole-plot and split-plot error. However experiments on industrial processes must be run and, consequently analyzed quite differently from ones run in a controlled environment. Such experiments are typically subject to a wide array of uncontrolled, and barely understood, variation. In particular, it is important to examine the experimental results for additional, unanticipated sources of variation. In this paper, we consider how unanticipated, stratified effects may influence a split-plot experiment and discuss further exploratory analysis to indicate the presence of stratified effects. Examples of such experiments are provided, additional tests are suggested and discussed in light of their power, and recommendations given.
