• Manage resources
- Assign tasks
- Stage supplies
• Have contingency plan
- Personnel changes
- Business changes
- Botched runs
• Statistical common sense
- Randomize runs if possible
- Replicate and/or repeat

Press = 2 Press = 10
Temp = 10 +1 Temp = 125

-1 +1
Press = 2 Press = 10
Temp = 10 Temp = 125
Resin = 56 +1 Resin = 3560

-1 Coding convention
-1 press +1
often uses “+” for high
and “-” for low
