Most of previous research on tolerance optimization seeks the optimal tolerance allocation with process parameters such as fixed process mean and variance. This research, however, differs from the previous studies in two ways. First, an integrated optimization scheme is proposed to determine...

The primary objective of this paper is to develop a new robust design (RD) optimization procedure based on a lexicographical dynamic goal programming (LDGP) approach for implementing time-series based multi-responses, while the conventional experimental design formats and frameworks may...

For the manufacturer that intends to reduce the processing costs without sacrificing product quality, the identification of the optimal process mean is a problem frequently revisited. The traditional method to solving this problem involves making assumptions on the process parameter values and...
