From the author: This study employs Taguchi methods to determine optimal production quantities for animal survival rates. Taguchi methods are used to analyze data previously analyzed using classical experimental design methods. However, Taguchi methods are used to evaluate the impact of interactions among control variables. Using this data, the use of the Taguchi methods was found to significantly extend the results arrived at with classical experimental design, by examining interaction effects of the second, third and fourth order orders. In addition, the maximum survival times are estimated for each toxin level, and the range of antitoxin levels at which each maximum occurs. This is done to provide a starting point for future investigation. This paper fills a void in the literature by using an example from the administration of antitoxins to demonstrate a general method for using Taguchi methods to estimate optimal production quantities.
