Supersaturated designs offer a potentially useful way to investigate many factors with few experiments. A super‐saturated design evaluates $m$ factors with $n$ experiments, where $m \geq n-1$ . In some supersaturated designs the number of factors being investigated may exceed the number of experiments by a factor of three or more. The problem of developing a supersaturated design is described in computational complexity terms and methods of construction are discussed. Using standard combinatorial formulation may permit researchers to use additional methods to develop additional designs. Designs are generated with a modified method and compared with published designs using existing criteria and a new criterion. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
