What is Multi Performance Index

Multi-objective optimization is one of the most popular research areas in the world of manufacturing. It concerns the manufacturing optimization problems involving more than one optimization simultaneously, but in this present scenario, it is becoming very tough to solve a manufacturing-related multi-objective problem as no logical method has been developed in assignment of response individual weight. Therefore, to tackle this problem, this chapter proposes a new integrated approach by combining Standard Deviation Method with Particle Swarm Optimization. Two examples of optimizing the advanced manufacturing process parameters are performed to test the proposed approach. The examples considered for this approach are also attempted using other established optimization techniques such as Desirability-based RSM and SDM-GA. The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach during multi-objective manufacturing process parameter optimization.
