ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a novel total cost model for the micro‐products' entire life cycle that takes into account the uncertainty of the model parameters. The total cost includes pre-sale manufacturing and post-sale warranty costs. Additionally, different marketing strategies are also given based on the weight of internal and external costs. Furthermore, limited data and unknown effects in experiments may cause large errors in parameter estimates. This could prevent the achievement of reliable designs. To address this, robust optimization and interval estimation are used. This approach reduces the impact of uncertainty on parameter estimates. It ensures optimality and robustness in micro-manufacturing parameters. Example analysis and numerical simulation results show that the proposed method assists companies in selecting the optimal manufacturing parameter level that aligns with their marketing strategies. Besides, considering uncertainty factors can ensure that the optimization results remain guaranteed, even under the worst-case scenarios.
