Hands on: Rapid methods to optimize product performance using the consumer, 2 days

This course will let you acquire easy to use methods that will help you optimize product performance using the consumer.

Overview

Conventional preference mapping requires a sensory panel to provide a space to relate to liking.

• What can you do when there are no sensory data?  
• Can we use Emotions data and consumer perceptions from rapid methods to guide product reformulation trials?

 For the first time, we will offer training and practical experience in :

• product liking optimisation through JARS and Ideal point scoring,
• measuring consumer perceptions of sensory and emotion attributes,
• combining product attributes with emotions or brand/package attributes in a holistic optimisation process.

Attendees will practice their learning using real life data and the XLSTAT data package.

Pre-Requisites

This course assumes familiarity with the following key statistical techniques used in sensory and consumer research: Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Correlation, Simple Regression and Principal Components Analysis. (refresher notes can be provided upon request)
