The basic ideas of Desirability functions and indices are introduced and compared to other methods of multivariate optimisation. It is shown that gradient based techniques are not in general appropriate to perform the numerical optimisation for Desirability indices. The problems are shown for...

This paper discusses the makespan minimization of a production batch within a specific concurrent system, seru production system. A seru production system consists of multiple independent serus. A seru is a compact assembly origination in which products are assembled...
