Multi-objective optimization method is used to simultaneously maximize and minimize the various criteria involved in complex industrial problems. In the present work, the optimum combination of cutting parameters is estimated in the turning of EN25 steel with coated carbide tools by performing desirability function analysis and utility concept. The experiments were designed as per L18 Taguchi mixed level orthogonal array with each trial performed under different conditions. These methods are employed for minimization of cutting force, surface roughness and maximization of material removal rate. The optimized results are compared and utility concept gave good combination of input and output parameters. Finally, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) on overall desirability and utility value was employed to identify the relative significance of factors in terms of their percentage contribution to the responses.
