Design of Experiments (DoE), also called experimental design, is a statistical approach to process development that has gained wide acceptance in the biopharmaceutical industry. DoE is used to reduce development costs by speeding up the design process and to optimize the parameters of a particular step in the manufacturing process. With its inherent ability to take into account multiple variables at once, a designed experiment is also used to minimize process variation leading to a more robust manufacturing process.
