Effect
The largest effect is A. The next largest effects are the AB and AD interactions. A plausible tentative
model would be A, AB and AD, along with B and D to preserve hierarchy.

The "Model F-value" of 4.87 implies the model is not significant relative to the noise. There is a
17.91 % chance that a "Model F-value" this large could occur due to noise.

8.7. An article by J.J. Pignatiello, Jr. And J.S. Ramberg in the Journal of Quality Technology, (Vol. 17,
1985, pp. 198-206) describes the use of a replicated fractional factorial to investigate the effects of five
factors on the free height of leaf springs used in an automotive application. The factors are A = furnace
temperature, B = heating time, C = transfer time, D = hold down time, and E = quench oil temperature.
The data are shown in Table P81.

(e) Is this the best possible design for five factors in 16 runs? Specifically, can you find a fractional
design for five factors in 16 runs with a higher resolution than this one?
This was not the best design. A resolution V design is possible by setting the generator equal to the
highest order interaction, ABCDE.
8.9. Consider the leaf spring experiment in Problem 8.7. Suppose that factor E (quench oil
temperature) is very difficult to control during manufacturing. Where would you set factors A, B, C and
D to reduce variability in the free height as much as possible regardless of the quench oil temperature
used?

Run the process with A at the low level, B at the high level, C at the low level and D at either level (the
low level of D may give a faster process).
