Abstract
The prospects for improving the quality of articles from ceramics are considered from the standpoint of synergetics, i.e., the science studying the self-organization of systems. The main problem to be solved by production engineers consists in determining the bifurcation points, establishing methods for controlling the behavior of the system in them and, sometimes, eliminating the bifurcations. Sintering of binary oxides and their mixtures is considered as an example for showing that the methods of mathematical design of experiments make it possible to determine and eliminate bifurcation points and reduce the level of noises in them, which improves the quality of the articles.
