In Taguchi the factors are continues and discrete variable, but in RSM the factors are continues variable.So Taguchi are better .
In Taguchi Method involves identification of proper control factors to obtain the optimum results of the process. Orthogonal Arrays (OA) are used to conduct a set of experiments. Results of these experiments are used to analyze the data and predict the quality of components produced.
Response surface methodology (RSM) is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques for empirical model building. By careful design of experiments, the objective is to optimize a response (output variable) which is influenced by several independent variables (input variables). An experiment is a series of tests, calledruns, in which changes are made in the input variables in order to identify the reasons for changes in the output response.
