A challenging problem in process control is the selection of input levels which will produce desirable output quality. This problem is complicated by the unsure relationships of cause and effect and by the trade-offs between meeting conflicting output specifications. This paper proposes a new approach, which incorporates prediction-interval constraints into a goal-programming model. A process-control problem, originally solved by the desirability-function approach, is solved using this new model. Comparisons between the two approaches are discussed.
