This article shows that a single 2 k‐p fractional factorial design matrix and the traditional data analysis techniques associated with this design can be used effectively to achieve the goal of parameter design while reducing the total number of experiments required. A real example is used to compare Taguchi's two‐part design, and S/N analysis to a 2 k‐p design and its associated analysis. Also, a flow diagram is presented to guide a practitioner through the parameter design process using a 2 k‐p design. This flow diagram provides an annoted guide to the literature on 2 k‐p decision and shows the design processes leading to proper choice of design and appropriate data analysis techniques.
