The World’s Largest Design Catalog

Access 500M+ experimental designs.

Minitab DOE by Effex provides exclusive access to a catalog of over 500 million enumerated designs — covering problems with up to 20 factors, including quantitative, categorical, and blocking factors.

Capabilities include:

  • Filtering across a complete set of statistical criteria 
  • Comparing up to 50 designs simultaneously 
  • Supporting randomized, blocked, D-, A-, I-optimal and split-plot designs 

No more settling for limited libraries. Minitab DOE by Effex guarantees the best design, regardless of constraints, structure, or objectives.

Proprietary OMARS® Designs

Bridge screening and response surface modeling without compromise.

Minitab DOE by Effex introduces OMARS® designs (Orthogonal Minimally Aliased Response Surface), developed by thought leaders Peter Goos and Jose Nunez.

OMARS® designs:

  • Combine screening efficiency with full quadratic modeling power 
  • Provide improved prediction accuracy across the design space 
  • Deliver clearer, less confounded effect estimates through better orthogonality 
  • Require fewer runs for deeper insight 

Gain more information from fewer experiments, without sacrificing model quality.

Model Selection & Multi-Response Optimization

Go beyond traditional regression limits.

Minitab DOE by Effex significantly expands modeling and optimization capabilities:

  • All-subset regression beyond traditional software limits (200+ terms) 
  • Unique all-subset approach for mixed models 
  • Sophisticated multi-response optimization using probability of success
