Abstract
Purpose: In this paper we present a case study of applying quick and easy experimental design approach to develop a Halogen free flame retardant material for cellular phone charger cable. Methods: We employ sequential experimentation of mixture design, verification design, and factorial design. A quick and easy approach is adopted based on data investigation and graphical method instead of strict statistical analysis, which helped enhancing smooth communication with the engineers and speeding up the development process. Results: Flame retardant material in pellet type produced from the optimal condition is transported to the customer and tested, to pass the customer retardancy criteria. Conclusion: The quick and easy experimental design approach is considered to be useful in this case study.
