Abstract
McLeod and Brewster (Technometrics 46:135–146, 2008) considered the construction of optimal foldover plans for regular fractional factorial split plot designs. The construction process was based on the minimum aberration criterion for both the initial design and the combined design derived through the foldover. In this paper we give some additional foldover designs which have desirable properties that may provide viable alternative options to some of the plans provided in McLeod and Brewster (Technometrics 46:135–146, 2008).
