Industrial Experimentation

Industrial experimentation is a method used by companies to test and improve processes, products, or systems through controlled, systematic trials. By carefully designing experiments—changing one or more variables while keeping others constant—they gather data to understand cause-and-effect relationships. This approach helps optimize performance, reduce costs, and innovate efficiently. Think of it as scientific testing within a manufacturing or business context, where evidence-based adjustments lead to better outcomes. It combines engineering, statistics, and strategic planning to make informed decisions and continuous improvements in industrial operations.
