Integrated Process and Product Design Optimization: a Cosmetic Emulsion Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simultaneous approach to address optimal product and process design is presented and applied to a cosmetic lotion case study. The problem formulation integrates product quality, as assessed by customers, a model predicting lotion viscosity as a function of its composition and a process model linking process design and operation with lotion composition and microstructure. The solution of such a problem identifies the optimal lotion composition together with the interrelated process optimal specifications. This integrated design approach is shown to provide better solutions than the ones obtained when product and process design problems are solved separately.

متن کاملQuality Improvement Through Multiple Response Optimization (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The performance of a product is often evaluated by several quality characteristics. ptimizing the manufacturing process with respect to only one quality characteristic will not always lead to the optimum values for other characteristics. Hence, it would be desirable to improve the overall quality of a product by improving quality characteristics, which are considered to be important. The probl...
