This study presents a new integrated approach based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy
process (FAHP) and zero–one desirability programming (ZODP) for selecting strategic …

A serial manufacturing system generally consists of multiple and different dedicated
processing stages that are aligned sequentially to produce a specific end product. In such a …

A common problem generally encountered during manufacturing process improvement
involves simultaneous optimization of multiple 'quality characteristics' or so-called …

Various continuous ant colony optimization (CACO) strategies are proposed by researchers
to resolve continuous single response optimization problems. However, no such work is …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address three key objectives. The first is the
proposal of an enhanced multiobjective optimisation (MOO) solution approach for the mean …

Adjusting control factors (independent variables) to achieve an optimal level of output
(response variable) is usually required in many real-world manufacturing problems …

Multiresponse parameter design problems have become increasingly important and have
received considerable attention from both researchers and practitioners since there are …

Most modern products/processes usually have several quality characteristics that must be
optimized simultaneously; this is called a multi-response parameter design problem. To …

Efficient crystallization in raw sugar production is the result of a combination of factors and
responses that meet specific criteria. Matching a sugar quality standard, maximizing sugar …

Abstract Evaluation of a product or process involves simultaneous study of several product
quality characteristics or responses. The ultimate goal of manufacturing process optimization …
