ABSTRACT

Abstract: This paper improves the productivity of Soap mix using Response Surface and presents the optimization of a soap production mix using the previous production data. The data were optimized using response surface modeling tool to observe the optimum production mix of the raw material. Response surface regression analysis was used to estimate the coefficients for Y using data in coded units were the coefficient of determination (R-sq) is 100%. The response surface optimization model shows that the optimum production mix quantity of the soap should be 364.999kg.
