Hi,
What if you are doing a DOE and each time you face a raw material availability constraint. Clearly, the quantity of reagents is limited.
Surely you can deal with the problem by requiring the total number of runs, but I'm wondering if one could use constraints. Ideally, I would like to stipulate as a constraint that the sum total of a reactant does not exceed a certain value. we could also want to use exactly this amount so you don't loose raw material.
So having a constraints along the trials.
Has anyone ever faced this problem?
My proposal would be to run a set of DOEs and compare the sum of the limited reactants in order to select the best DOE. Has anyone tried this?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Florence
