An integrated methodology consisting of experimental design and feedbackPID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller was proposed to optimize andcontrol the deviation from the average value in the offset value, variabilityin the offset value and the time to reach the set value in this liquid levelsystem. The optimal valve opening levels that minimizes the average of theoffset value (µ), variance (s2) and the first time to reach the setvalue (t) were determined as 40%, 5%, 50% and 80%, respectively, using TOPSIS(Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution)-basedTaguchi method by Minitab®. A quite successful control was established in theverification test which performed with specified levels of optimal valveopening. Recovery rates in the control performance before and after optimizingthe parameter were calculated as 9.53% in the deviation from the average valuein the offset values, 29.37% in the variability in the offset value and 11.27%in the time to reach the set value. MATLAB/Simulink was used to simulate theliquid level system. CR - [1] M. Lee, J.
