In this article, a new method termed the Taguchi-Pareto-Box Behnken design teaching learning-based optimization (TPBBD–TLBO) was developed to optimize the boring process, which promotes surface roughness as the output. At the same time, the speed, feed, and depth of cut are taken as the inputs. The case examines experimental data from the literature on the boring of IS 2062 E250 steel plates. The proposed method draws from a recent idea on the Taguchi-Pareto-Box Behnken design method that argues for a possible relationship between the Taguchi-Pareto method and the Box Behnken design method. This idea was used as a basis for the further argument that teaching learning-based optimization has a role in the further optimization of the established TPBBD method. The optimal solutions were investigated when the objective function was generated using the Box Behnken design in a case. It was replaced with the regression method in the other case, and the python programming codes were used to execute the computations. Then the optimal solutions concerning the parameters of speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and nose radius were evaluated. With the Box Behnken as the objective function for the TLBO method, convergence was reached at 50 iterations with a class population of 5. The optimal parametric solutions are 800 rpm of speed, 0.06 min/min of feed rate, 1 min for depth of cut, and 0 min for nose radius. On the use of the regression method for the objective function, while the TLBO method was deployed, convergence was experienced after 50 iterations with a class population of 200 students. The optimal parametric solution is 1135rpm of speed, 0.06 min/min of feed rate, 1024 min of the depth of cut, and 0.61 min of nose radius. The speed, depth of cut, and nose radius showed higher values, indicating the use of more energy resources to accomplish the optimal goals using the regression method-based objective function. Therefore, the proposed method constitutes a promising route to optimize further the results of the Taguchi-Pareto-Box Behnken design for boring operation improvement.
