Abstract

Many quality engineering practitioners continue to have a considerable interest in implementing the concept of response surface methodology to real situations. Recently, dual response surface approach is extensively studied and recognized as a powerful tool for robust design. However, existing methods do not consider the information provided by customers and design engineers. In this regard, this article proposes a flexible optimization model that incorporates that information via desirability function modeling. The optimization scheme and its modeling flexibility are demonstrated through an illustrative example by comparing the proposed model with existing ones.
