Question:
A quality characteristic \(y\) is found to depend linearly on three controllable input parameters \(x_{1}, x_{2}\) and \(x_{3} .\) Analysis of historical data yields the following regression equation.
\[y=2.3+12 x_{1}-8.1 x_{2}+7.3 x_{3}+\epsilon, \quad \epsilon \sim N\left(0, \sigma^{2}\right)\]The process mean is found to have shifted from the desired value of 9 to 8.8. It costs $800, $1200 and $1100 to increase the settings of \(x_{1}, x_{2}\) and \(x_{3}\) by 1 unit respectively. Describe the minimum-cost corrective action you would take to ensure that the process mean is increased to 9 .
