Response Surface Methodology 140 Experimenter’s Checklist 141 Experimenter’s Checklist, cont. Catapult Exercise (approx. 4hrs) 143 THE CATAPULT DOE Catapult Exercise 144 THE CATAPULT The “Peg” can be placed in 4 positions. The “Stop Position” can be placed in 6 positions. The “Start Angle” can be approximately 90 to 180 degrees. The “Hook” and “Cup” can be placed in 6 positions (although not in the same position at the same time). DOE Catapult Exercise 145 You will see that there are five obvious factors 1. Start angle of the arm (pull back angle) 2. Stop position (stop) 3. Peg on upright arm for rubber band tension adjustment (peg) 4. Adjustable rubber band connector to arm (hook) 5. Cup position (cup) Some not so obvious 6. Spotter 7. Archer Your team should decide which to use and if they want to include others. DOE Catapult Exercise 146 Your team’s assignment is two fold。 to maximize the distance that a ball can be thrown by your catapult and to hit a target 10 feet away (if your design has two levels). Each “shot” cost $1,000. Your team must meet and decide which factors and levels they want to include in their study. You must first design the experiment, determine response or responses you are going to measure, how you are going to measure the response. Then present your plan to management prior to any “shots”. This plan should include the total cost of the DOE, what type of design you are using, what are the factors / levels, who will record the data, who will take the measurements, what kind of precautions you have taken to assure the data is “good”, who will analyze the DOE (everyone on the team independently), and approximation as to the length of time it will take. Also, make plans for a confirmation run. DOE Catapult Exercise 147 Use the labeling system above DOE Catapult Exercise 148 Be prepared to present your findings to the class. This will include, but not limited to。 Type of design, factors, and levels Total cost How you measured the distance The ANOVA, response graphs (factors amp。 interactions) Conclusions amp。 Prediction Equation (2 levels) Results of your confirmation run Remendation to management Any surprises that your came upon during the study.
