Methodological study demonstrates simultaneous optimization of multiple response variables using a modified desirability function, highlighting efficient multi-criteria product development.

Key Points

To establish a modified desirability function methodology capable of simultaneously optimizing multiple response variables in product formulation using univariate numerical techniques.
Adapted Harrington's desirability function framework to convert multiple conflicting response variables into a unified composite desirability metric.
Applied univariate optimization techniques to maximize the composite function against varied independent processing variables.
Evaluated the mathematical framework using a practical industrial application in the formulation of rubber compounds for tire treads.
Demonstrated that complex, multi-criteria response surfaces can be successfully collapsed into a single objective function solvable via standard univariate methods.
Identified optimal operating conditions that provide a balanced combination of physical properties for tire tread rubber compounds.
