An open-source and user-friendly platform for using design of experiments for optimizing mineral processing. No specific knowledge of programming languages is required for using the platform. Depending on the user needs, the platform suggests the optimal experimental strategy with a minimum number of runs required. Different types of experimental designs such as screening, full factorial and central composite designs are currently available. The R shiny app can be accessed via:  https://hifgeomet.shinyapps.io/Optimization_Tool/
