Abstract • For many years optimization procedures have emphasized the optimization of a single quality characteristic. However, manufactured products typically have many quality characteristics that need to be optimized, so techniques for handling multiple quality characteristics are now receiving more attention. In particular, these techniques incorporate multiple quality characteristics, some of which need to be as small as possible, others as large as possible, or still others satisfying some particular values as closely as possible, all of which need to be optimized at the sa
