Abstract: Complex mechanical engineering problems usually have the following stages: problem formulation, conceptual design, embodiment development, detailed design, testing, manufacturing, and quality control. The many tasks in the quality control phase often require significant time commitments of highly skilled personnel to complete successfully. Therefore, the application of evolutionary optimization at this stage of production can reduce the engineer’s involvement in the development process, thereby reducing the time and cost of the task.
