Weighing the various factors will determine if you want to aim to keep results within specification or can try options that are likely to return results that are outside of specs...

It should not be a passive tool for analysis (which is how people often think of statistics)...

I keep that and Montgomery's Design and Analysis of Experiments as my two doe refs. When I used to teach Six Sigma and we would get to CCDs I would tell my students that the only two important technical breakthroughs of 1957 were Chevrolet's achievement of 1 hp per ci in the fuel injected 283 and the Box Hunter Central Composite Design. Did Behnken and Cox work at UW too? Statistics for Experimenters is a great book. I keep that and Montgomery’s Design and Analysis of Experiments as my two doe refs.
