Since there are 3 control factors with 2 levels in each, a total of 8 “runs” are possible. However, since performing the experiment with all possible runs is time-consuming, the management decides to consider only 4 runs.

The noise factors are four different gates assigned to the airline. The experiment data is shown in the following table:
