In this paper we present how statistical experimental design, time series analysis and non-linear dynamic models have been applied to gain a deeper insight into BTA-deep-hole drilling process. BTA-deep-hole drilling process is used to produce long holes of a length to diameter ratio larger than...

Pareto-Optimality and the Desirability Index are methods for multicriteria optimization in quality management. In this paper the pareto-optimality of the optimal influence factor settings of a process resulting from maximizing the DI is analyzed and is shown to be valid in most cases.

The Desirability Index (DI) is a widely used method for multicriteria optimization in industrial quality control, by which optimal levels of the process influencing factors are determined in order to archieve maximum process quality. In practice however situations may occur in which slight...
