Hello,
Response is continuous and should not be more than 200. Ideally we want it to be in the range 180-200. Going over 200 is failure, but going below 180 is not a failure but poor quality. All factors are continuous at two levels each: low value and high value.
Not sure what you mean by how the noise is handled. A single tool is available for the experiment and used for each step.
I actually tried the custom design and since I have two factors for each step, I used "Hard to change" for the first three steps and "easy to change" for the final step. JMP creates a design with 23 whole plots. The script is as follows:
DOE(

{Add Response( Match Target, "CD", 80, 100, 1 ),
Add Response( Minimize, "Delta", 0, 10, 1 ),
