In sheet metal forming, one can search to reduce the amplitude of spring back(C1), and to minimize the buckling edges severities(C2) or to minimize (residual stresses(C3) etc...
F= C1 +C2 +C3 , or F= k1.C1+ k2.C2 + k3.C3....
How, scientifically, to optimize or to evaluate simply for example the quality of final product, using a combination of the three criteria of performance, with or without supplementary equations.
