ABSTRACT
Industrial management is becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of running statistically designed experiments. Statistical experimental designs, developed by Sir R. A. Fisher in the 1920s, largely originated from agricul tural problems. Designing experiments for industrial problems and design ing experiments for agricultural problems are similar in their basic concerns. There are, however, many differences. The differences listed in Table 1 are based on the overall characteristics of all problems. Exceptions can be found in some particular cases, of course.
