The document discusses how JMP statistical software can help ethanol producers improve quality, increase yield, and optimize experimentation. It provides examples of how JMP was used to identify a contamination source, screen for factors impacting yield, and design an efficient experiment. JMP allows users to quickly visualize, analyze, model, and report on data to speed up the time to discovery. A free trial of JMP is available for ethanol producers to learn more.

INTRODUCTION JMP STATISTICAL DISCOVERY FOR ETHANOL PRODUCERS
• What Is JMP?
• Dynamic – Interact with your data
• Powerful – Right tool at the right time
• Visual – Compelling graphs and reports
• Flexible – Customize and automate work
• Speeds Up Time to Discovery
• Get data in -> explore (analyze and visualize) ->
model/experiment -> report results
• JMP Helps Ethanol Producers
• Improve quality
• Increase yield
• Experiment better

IMPROVE QUALITY JMP STATISTICAL DISCOVERY FOR ETHANOL PRODUCERS
• Situation
• Quality department at large biotech
company reporting contamination (above
50,000 PPM) in production process
• Questions
• Where is the high contamination?
• What is contributing to
high contamination?
• Discovery
• Quickly visualize amount and timing of high
contamination
• Isolate down to specific supplier and
reactors
• Compelling viz: interactive Bubble Plot

INCREASE YIELD JMP STATISTICAL DISCOVERY FOR ETHANOL PRODUCERS
• Situation
• Ethanol producer needs to increase
fermentation yield
• Questions
• What are the strongest components that
are driving yield?
• Can we model ways to increase yield?
• Discovery
• Quickly visualize yield performance
• Screen and model ways to increase yield

BETTER
EXPERIMENTATION
JMP STATISTICAL DISCOVERY FOR ETHANOL PRODUCERS
• Situation
• Producer needs to experiment and find
settings to optimize yield, quality and cost
• Question
• Can we create an experiment that will show
optimized settings in a minimum
number of runs?
• Discovery
• Find and run the most efficient experiment
• Profile and interact with optimized settings
for all outputs
