Summary A number of variations of evolutionary operation have been devised since the technique was originally described by G. E. P. Box. One of these variants—Simplex evolutionary operation—is described in this article. The method appears to be particularly suitable for application in the paper industry in which more traditional forms of experimentation are often unsuccessful. Some examples of the use of both the original and Simplex forms of EVOP are described.
