A sequential procedure for the exploration of response surfaces is proposed. The procedure, which is for experiments with two factors, uses the kiss-precise configuration, i.e., the design points are on circles in mutual contact at each stage. Only three points need be added at each stage and the design points form a first-order rotatable design. A second-degree surface may be fitted when a near stationary region is reached.
