           in a design with the highest possible resolutions. Montgomery (1997)
           lists many good 2 k   p  fractional factorial designs.

           Summary 2   k   p  designs are the workhorse  of industrial  experi-
           ments, because they can analyze many factors simultaneously with
           relative efficiency (i.e., with few experimental runs). The experi-
           ment design is also straightforward because each factor has only
           two settings.
