Food and drinks, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, coatings, personal care and hygiene and the likes- these are all samples of product formulations. People who are into the field of formulation research and development knows the enormous challenges that come with this type of work. But there is a tool available that can significantly help manage these challenges and allow the formulators to navigate through the complex pathway facing them. This tool is called Design of Experiments.

Design of Experiment (DOE) is a body of knowledge that lays down the principles on how experimentation can be done properly and economically as well as how the experimental results could be analyzed correctly and effectively. The main benefit of using DOE to develop formulations is that it allows all potential inputs (also called components or factors) to be evaluated simultaneously, systematically, and quickly against the conventional approach of dealing with such inputs one-at-a-time. With DOE, one can evaluate the effect of each formulation input (and the synergistic or antagonistic effects between these inputs) on each formulation characteristic or output of concern and identify the critical factors. Identified critical inputs and factors then paves the way for proper improvement and optimization of formulation for which DOE also gives a corresponding methodology. The manufacturing process for the formulation also can be developed and optimized in the same manner. This systematic approach using DOE also enables the business organization to do efficient scale-up and process validation because of the robustness of both the formulation and manufacturing process. Overall, the application of DOE to the formulation development and optimization process has enabled a lot of organizations to save on development cost and time while taking a faster route to improving their product formulation performance and achieving the formulation’s targeted capabilities.

This will be an online/virtual training composed of teaching and workshop sessions combined with offline experimental activities to embody the ‘learning-by-doing philosophy’. A high engagement level and interaction between the Mentors/Facilitators and the participants is being aimed for during the training sessions and as such the session will be strictly limited to 15 participants only.

Course Testimonials:

“New and fresh knowledge! I have never known such a program or tool can help expedite product development projects. The training is worth more than what we paid for.”
-Annie Baluzo, Unilox Industrial Corp.

“This session is very impressive and it covers the most important aspect in my field dealing with product development… it gives me more confidence to pursue a more ambitious research and development project”
–Jane Tranquilan, Mindanao State University/Philippine Carabao Center

Who Should Attend

Research and Development Leaders, Personnel, Product Developers, Product Engineers, Process Developers, Quality Assurance Managers and others who are directly responsible or indirectly accountable for developing and improving their organization’s product formulation and processes.

Training Fees

For Philippine based participants: Investment cost on the training program is Php 16,800 (VAT included).

For participants outside of the Philippines: Investment cost on the training program is USD 400.

Training fees is inclusive of access to all learning materials as well as attendance to the training sessions. Excluded from the fees would be the experiment activity materials which participants will need to purchase by themselves. These materials however are common materials that would be easily available in bookstores, supermarkets and drugstores. List of materials needed will be provided a week prior to start of training.
