This example uses the Tiretread.jmp sample data table. There are three factors (SILICA, SILANE, and SULFUR) and four responses (ABRASION, MODULUS, ELONG, and HARDNESS). The goal is to find the optimal combination of the three factors in the development of a tire tread compound. See Derringer and Suich (1980).
1.

5.
Click the Prediction Profiler red triangle and select Optimize and Desirability > Desirability Functions.
6.
Click the Prediction Profiler red triangle and select Optimize and Desirability > Maximize Desirability.
Figure 2.4 Maximize Desirability Report
By maximizing the desirability, you see that to maximize ABRASION, all factors are set to their highest levels.
