Abstract
First introduced in 1965, the concept of a “desirability function” has gained wide acceptance as a method of determining parameter settings to optimize a process with multiple output measurements. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the underlying assumptions of decision theory on which the procedure is based. This paper demonstrates critical issues that can arise from blind adherence to this procedure
