The idea is to use mathematical techniques to arrive at the best solution, given what is being optimized (cost, profit, or time, for instance). To optimize a manufacturing system under the engineering background means that the effort to find best solutions focuses on finding the most effective use of resources over time. Initially, I have to say that the term optimization is now being used incorrectly sometimes, however. Many people, especially consultants, are using it without regard to what optimization is or to how manufacturing companies should apply the concept to their own operations. Optimization has become a catch-all term, and this is dangerous for two reasons. First, those who use the term do not usually know whether the systems they propose are truly optimal solutions or not. And second, the lack of rigor they use to develop and articulate their proposed solutions means that failure is inevitable - not exactly good advertisement for the benefits of optimization. Actually optimization means a lot not just in the field of manufacture, engineering and finance. It almost can be applied in everywhere around our life. It can be treated as a powerful toolkit in your workplace to beauty your product. It rigorously relies on the mathematical modeling, analyzing and designing to reach the most satisfactory performance. In the past decades, optimization from its born as an idea to a comprehensive theory and method penetrates every industry function
