Taguchis Design
Let us say
y = f(x,z)
where y = Product Response
xs = controllable factors
zs = noise factors

MINITAB Output
18
Agitation Rate and Temperature is most critical factor as the slope is high.
Reference Materail
19
Interaction exists between Agitation Rate and Temperature, because the lines
are not parallel.
