minitab - Taguchi methods - number of experiments - reg -

i want conduct experiment ten factors ( factors costs , capacities) know influence of each factor on optimum value of optimization problem. want know number of levels required each factor , number of experiments required factor levels each experiment.

cost of experiment not matter because these experiments going run using software, time required run important because if large number of experiments required time more.

please throw light.

you have minitab tag on question; said, minitab has excellent capability in planning does. go assistant menu, doe, plan , create...

if click "create modeling design" in optimization experiment path, give setup screen can specify response, optimization objective, factors, etc. notice design typical factorial-type design low/high values used in each experimental run. should give results, let know there other design types can better given circumstances of each situation. instance, mentioned these software experiments -- there nice design called "space filling design" creates factor design points (not @ low/high values) optimally fill design search space. these designs used computer simulation experiments.
