Overview
ABSTRACT
This article examines, through surface treatment examples, the interest of experimental designs in the search for an optimum through response surface methodology (RSM). Among the experimental design, those of Box-Behnken, Doehlert, central composites, uniform and D-optimal designs may provide valuable assistance. More generally, they provide a continuum of progressive management in a study with a minimum of testing at the lowest cost. Mixture designs are particular experimental designs; they are dedicated to the optimization of mixture formulations whose properties depend on the proportions of the constituents. This approach is illustrated by means of a case study.

INTRODUCTION
In
The steps involved in this procedure, known as the "Response Surface Methodology" (RSM), can be summarized as follows:
project audit. Its aim is to set the objectives of the approach and identify the factors influencing the process and/or product, with the active participation of the entire project group. This starting point is crucial: many approaches fail for lack of a good initial assessment to be carried out with a view to future developments;
experimentation strategy. Following the audit, it is now possible to define a relevant and cost-effective experimentation strategy. To do this, we build the right experimental plan, adapted to the project, enabling us to carry out a minimum number of trials;
plan execution. Rigor and good communication are necessary between the operators and the specialist in experimental strategies;
modeling and analysis of results. Modeling consists in establishing a causal model between the factors and the property of interest, making it possible to define the ranges to be respected in production. This makes it possible to take informed decisions, giving production managers, for example, the optimum value ranges for process operating parameters.
The present article is dedicated to the search for the optimum and to the formulation of TS mixtures through examples drawn from the scientific literature; reasons of industrial confidentiality imposing this choice on us.
