| Abstract: | An integrated approach using neural networks, exponential desirability functions and genetic algorithms to optimize parameter design problems with multiple responses is presented. The proposed approach aims to identify the input parameter settings to maximize the overall minimal satisfaction level with respect to all the responses. The proposed approach is illustrated by optimizing the fused process parameters created during fused biconic taper coupler development to improve the performance and reliability of a 1% (1199) single-window broadband tap coupler. The proposed solution procedure was implemented on a Taiwanese manufacturer of fibreoptic passive components. The implementation results demonstrate the practicability of the method. Comparison analysis revealed that the proposed procedure outperformed the traditional Taguchi method in resolving multi-response parameter design problems. |
