In fact, process conditions that result in a smaller standard deviation are often preferable. Recently, several authors stated that the standard deviation of any performance property could be treated as a new property in its own right as far as Pareto optimizer was concerned. By doing this, there will be many alternative solutions (i.e., the trade-offs between the mean and standard deviation responses) of the DRS problem and Pareto optimization can explore them all. Such analysis is useful, and that is required in order to achieve an improved understanding of the problem before searching for a final optimal solution. In this paper, we again follow this new philosophy and solve the DRS problem by using a genetic algorithm with arithmetic crossover. The genetic algorithm is applied to the printing process problem for improving the quality of a printing process. Genetic algorithms, in contrast to the one-solution-at-a-time approach of most optimization algorithms, maintain a population of hundreds, or thousands, of solutions in speedy manner.
