Example #1
What are the effects of the material type and temperature in the life of a battery?
Is there any material selection that maximizes its life?
Example #2
Response: the performance of a chemical process is studied.
It is thought that the two most important variables: pressure and temperature. Three levels of each factor are selected and performed a factorial experiment with two replicates. Performance data are:
| Pressure | |||
| Temperature | 200 | 215 | 230 |
| 150 | 90.4 | 90.7 | 90.2 |
| 90.2 | 90.6 | 90.4 | |
| 160 | 90.1 | 90.5 | 89.9 |
| 90.3 | 90.6 | 90.1 | |
| 170 | 90.5 | 90.8 | 90.4 |
| 90.7 | 90.9 | 90.1 |
Example #3
The percentage of the concentration of hardwood pulp in gross, pressure, and cooking time of pulp are examined for their effects on paper strength. Three levels of concentration of hardwood are selected. Three levels of pressure and two cooking times. Carry out a factorial experiment with two replicates.
| Time 3 hours | Time 4 hours | |||||
| Percentage | Pressure | Pressure | ||||
| concentration | 400 | 500 | 650 | 400 | 500 | 650 |

Example #4
An engineer is interested in the effects of cutting speed (A), the geometry of the tool (B) and the cutting angle (C) on life (in hours) of a machine tool. Two levels of each factor are chosen and run three replicates in a factorial design 2³. The results were:
| Replication | ||||||
| A | B | C | Treatment | I | II | III |
| - | - | - | [1] | 22 | 31 | 25 |
| + | - | - | a | 32 | 43 | 29 |
| - | + | - | b | 35 | 34 | 50 |
| + | + | - | ab | 55 | 47 | 46 |
| - | - | + | c | 44 | 45 | 38 |
| + | - | + | ac | 40 | 37 | 36 |
| - | + | + | bc | 60 | 50 | 54 |
| + | + | + | abc | 39 | 41 | 47 |
Example #5
A machine is used to make grooves on a printed circuit board. The vibration level at the surface of the card when the slots are made is considered a major source of dimensional variation of the grooves. Two factors are thought to influence the vibration: the size of the grooves (A) and the cutting speed (B). two sizes of grooves (1/16 and 1/8 inch) and two speeds (40 and 90 rpm) are selected, and four grooves are made with each card set of conditions. Variable vibration response is measured as the resultant vector of three accelerometers (x, y, z) on each test card.
| Replication | ||||||
| A | B | Treatment | I | II | III | IV |
| - | - | [1] | 18.2 | 18.9 | 12.9 | 14.4 |
| + | - | a | 27.2 | 24 | 22.4 | 22.5 |
| - | + | B | 15.9 | 14.5 | 15.1 | 14.2 |
| + | + | ab | 41 | 43.9 | 36.3 | 39.9 |
Example #6
Four factors, each with two levels were studied in a study of the performance of a process: time (A), the concentration (B), pressure (C) and the temperature (D). one replicate was run a design 2⁴ and data obtained are shown in the following table:
| Yield | Factor Levels | ||||||||
