In this study, an interactive approach has been developed for two-response product and process design optimization problems treating the single response problems as a special case. This approach considers preferences of the decision maker explicitly and the correlation between the responses. It uses a predefined set of objectives that are commonly encountered in the literature and industrial applications. However, instead of presenting all objective values at each iteration, a set of performance measures are used to represent the objectives in a way to communicate with the decision maker better. A significant part of this communication utilizes visual aids such as specification and prediction regions of a solution. Thus, the decision maker is able to decide better which objective can be sacrificed by how much in order to improve an unsatisfactory objective in the next iteration. The developed approach is demonstrated on two examples; one exemplifies binary response problem and the other is on single response problem. The advantages and disadvantages of the developed approach and issues for covering more than two responses are discussed.

An Approach for determining process economy parameters of multivariate loss functions Özkan, Gökçe; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016) The aim of this study is to provide an effective method for determining parameters of multivariate loss functions, which are related with process economics. The loss functions are widely used in product and process design and other quality engineering applications. Although there are several studies about different types of loss functions, there is a lack of studies on determining cost matrix parameters of these functions. For this purpose, we propose a method based on multi-objective decision making tools....
An approach for decentralized process modeling Turetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur (2007-05-20) This paper describes a method for organizations to perform process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The approach is based on the idea that modeling organizations' processes can be performed by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to analyze, understand, model and improve processes, real performers are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. The paper also summarizes the lessons learned by appl...
A Proposed information systems framework for effective delivery of user research findings Töre Yargın, Gülşen (2011-06-25) Integration of user research findings into product design process is a well-received issue. There is a tremendous research on how to conduct user research and methodologies for generating user data. However delivering that information effectively is as important as the quality of data generated through user research, since if it is not delivered effectively the impact that is demanded by the product developers would not be achieved. Therefore the requirements for the deliverables should be conceptualized be...
AN ALGEBRAIC APPROACH TO SUPERVISORY CONTROL INAN, K (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1992-01-01) Supervisory control problems are formulated in terms of a process model where the mechanism of control is expressed in terms of an algebraic operator with the plant and supervision processes as its arguments. The solution subspaces for supervisory processes restrict the observation and the control capability of supervision. The main result corresponds to decentralized marked supervision under partial observations, and specific cases are derived from this result in a unified, algebraic way. The result and it...
A new multiobjective simulated annealing algorithm Tekinalp, Ozan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-09-01) A new multiobjective simulated annealing algorithm for continuous optimization problems is presented. The algorithm has an adaptive cooling schedule and uses a population of fitness functions to accurately generate the Pareto front. Whenever an improvement with a fitness function is encountered, the trial point is accepted, and the temperature parameters associated with the improving fitness functions are cooled. Beside well known linear fitness functions, special elliptic and ellipsoidal fitness functions,...
