(Minitab: State College, PA) – Minitab, a global leader in data collection, predictive analytics, and process improvement solutions for manufacturers and organizations worldwide, has acquired Effex and its cutting-edge design of experiments (DOE) and optimization tool that offers true custom designs. Minitab will now provide superior DOE capabilities that blend classical DOE with proprietary experimental designs, advanced modeling, artificial intelligence, and cloud-based optimization tools.

Integrating Effex into the Minitab Solution Center helps organizations enhance processes, improve quality, and achieve operational excellence. The Effex platform is renowned for its proprietary OMARS (orthogonal minimally aliased response surface) designs, which combine screening and response surface methodologies. These designs offer better modeling capabilities, increased prediction accuracy, and clearer effect estimation, enabling teams to gain deeper insights with fewer experimental runs.
