Example of Balanced Incomplete B

Designs
In this example, you want to test three new product formulations in your plant,
There is a limit of two formulations that can be run per day. In addition, you ne

one work week. You need a design with at most five blocks.

1. Select DOE > Special Purpose > Balanced Incomplete Block Design.

2. Set the Treatment Size to 3.

Tip: Treatment size can refer to the number of levels of a single factor or
more factors.

3. Select 2 for the Block Size.

4. Select 3 for Allowable Blocks.

You can select 3 or 6 blocks. In this example, each block is a day and you
5 blocks. The number of runs is 6 because you have 3 blocks of size 2.

Note: You can enter a Treatment Name, Block Name, and Treatment Labels

5. Click Make Design.

Figure 24.2 BIBD for 3 Treatments in 3 Blocks of Size 2

The design has six runs in three blocks with two treatments in each block
outline. For additional design details open the Design and Incidence Matrix
Make Table.

Initially, you had to select a design with 3 or 6 blocks. You selected 3 block
your plant. However, suppose you were allowed to run your experiment fo
the design to use 6 blocks.

6. Select 6 in the Allowable Blocks menu.

7. Click Make Design to update the design.

8. Open the Incidence Matrix outline.
