Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a systematic weighting procedure based on process capability indices method applying weighted mean squared error minimization (WMSE) approach to dual response surface optimization. Methods: The proposed procedure consists of 5 steps. Step 1 is to prepare the alternative vectors. Step 2 is to rank the vectors based on process capability indices in a pairwise manner. Step 3 is to transform the pairwise rankings into the inequalities between the corresponding WMSE values. Step 4 is to obtain the weight value by calculating the inequalities. Or, step 5 is to obtain the weight value by minimizing the total violation amount, in case there is no weight value in step 4. Results: The typical 4 process capability indices, namely, <TEX>$C_p$</TEX>, <TEX>$C_{pk}$</TEX>, <TEX>$C_{pm}$</TEX>, <TEX>$C_{pmk}$</TEX> are utilized for the proposed procedure. Conclusion: The proposed procedure can provide a weight value in WMSE based on the objective quality performance criteria, not on the decision maker's subjective judgments or experiences.
