Abstract

The primary objective of robust parameter design (RPD) is to determine the optimal settings of control factors in a system to minimize response variance while achieving a desirable mean response. This article investigates fractional factorial designs constructed from Hadamard matrices of orders 12, 16, and 20 to meet RPD requirements with minimal runs. For various combinations of control and noise factors, rather than recommending a single “best” design, up to the top ten good candidate designs are identified. All listed designs permit the estimation of all control-by-noise interactions and the main effects of both control and noise factors. Additionally, some nonregular RPDs allow for the estimation of one or two control-by-control interactions, which may be critical for achieving optimal mean response. These results provide practical options for efficient, resource-constrained experiments with economical run sizes.
