... and to determine its parameters. Design/methodology/approach The MSG algorithm can solve a large‐scale of optimization problems that also includes multi period facility layout. Since the performance of the algorithm depends on parameters, a design of experiment is made to determine the appropriate parameter...

... be accomplished only by making processes insensitive to various sources of noise and the method is called robust parameter design (Phadke, 1989). © MCB UP Limited 1999 Design of experiments Optimization Process efficiency Taguchi methods Based on the above two steps, it was decided...
