Advantages:
1. Efficient use of data: SDoE methods help in reducing the number of experiments required to obtain reliable results. This saves time and resources as fewer experiments are required to get the same information.
2. Increased understanding of system variables: SDoE methods help in identifying the most important variables that affect the system. This helps in understanding the system and can aid in the decision-making process.
3. Reliable results: Using SDoE methods help in obtaining reliable results that can be reproduced, which can enhance the confidence level in the results.
4. Flexibility: SDoE methods are flexible and can be adapted to different types of systems and applications.
Disadvantages:
1. Limited applicability: SDoE methods cannot be used for complex systems with a large number of variables or unknown relationships between them.
2. High initial costs: Developing an SDoE method requires significant investment in time and resources, which can be a barrier for small organizations or research teams.
3. Requires expert knowledge: SDoE methods require expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and statistical modeling, which may not be available in all organizations.
4. Assumptions and simplifications: SDoE methods rely on certain assumptions and simplifications that may not hold true in all situations, which can lead to inaccurate results.
