Products and processes are complex and multivariate by nature requiring a scientific understanding of the relevant multi-factorial relationships such as between formulation, process, and quality attributes. Hence, the use of multivariate approaches provides a powerful means to understand complex multivariate relationships in product and process development.  The multivariate experimental design is a strategic weapon to battle competitors by designing robust products, reducing time to market, improving quality and reliability, and reducing life cycle costs. This class aims to train attendees on the application of multivariate experimental design in developing new products.

The class is for researchers, product developers, and postgraduate students who are interested in a structured approach to product development experimentation.
