The DoDE approach has been applied to optimize an industrial simulation at Dow2. The obtained optimal operating condition was very promising but some safety and product quality constraints were violated of some designed experiments. To satisfy these constraints while running the experiments, we apply the evolutionary operation of DoDE3 in this presentation. This methodology also reduces the initial number of experiments. The initial design is selected conservatively in the small vicinity of the previous operating conditions. After the initial data-driven model has been estimated using the collected data, an optimal operating condition with satisfying uncertainty statistics4 is selected and implemented. The new optimal condition also serves as a new data point that will be applied to update the data-driven model. An updated optimal operating condition will then be selected to further improve the process performance. The above steps are iterated until the best process performance is achieved. We examine the evolutionary DoDE approach in an industrial simulation of polymerization process at Dow.
