A new optimization method aimed at searching a global optimum solution and decreasing the number of iterations was developed. The feature of the new method is creating an orthogonal array and changing the level value of design factors every search step. The performance of the method was observed on the optimization problem of multi-peaked functions in which the global solution was known in advance. The newly developed method is found to be very effective for searching the global optimum solution of the multi-peaked problem.
