In this paper, we propose a new method, called the level-collapsing method, to construct branching Latin hypercube designs (BLHDs). The obtained design has a sliced structure in the third part, that is, the part for the shared factors, which is desirable for the qualitative branching factors. The construction method is easy to implement, and (near) orthogonality can be achieved in the obtained BLHDs. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the new designs.
