Abstract

The response surface methodology (RSM) approach can be used to determine the optimal component tolerances in an assembly. Frequently, response surface designs such as Box-Behnken design and central composite design are used in tolerance allocation problems. In this article, mixture experiments, which are essentially constructed for designing a blend composition, are proposed instead of response surface designs in order to observe the cost values. Also some advantages and disadvantages of mixture designs are discussed.
