An engineer wishes to adjust the parameters of a machine so that the wear of one of the components is minimized. In order to measure the wear, the machine needs to run for 10 minutes using the prescribed parameters. Afterwards, the machine is stopped and the component is measured with a micrometer. Consider the problem of finding values of p that minimize the wear. Explain why approaching this problem using Blackbox Optimization tools is appropriate.
